Cool. I don’t remember Vicenza claiming any violin heritage, did get to visit the museum in Cremona.

This volume details more than 20 violins, violas and violoncellos by the Italian and French masters of violin making. The instruments span four centuries and are the essence of this photo documentary – a limited edition of just 2000 copies.by Jost Thoene. In addition to essays by Florian Leonhard and Igor Moroder, there is a short biography of each master and drawings by the Italian artist Ciro Maddaluno. The book contains magnificent life sized colour plates of each instrument. Text is available in English, French, Italian, German and Korean. Instruments from the following makers are displayed in this book: Riccardo Antoniazzi, Paul Bailly, Gustave Bernardel, Primo Contavalli, Raffaele & Antonio Gagliano, Giorgio Gatti, Matteo Goffriller, Antonio Gragnani, Pietro Grulli, Giovanni Battista de Lorenzi, Nicolas Lupot, Pierre Pacherele, Gaetano Pareschi, Ansaldo Poggi, Azzo Rovescalli, Francesco Ruggieri, Iginio Sderci, Sanctus Serafino, Gaetano Sgarabotto, Antonio Sgarbi, Lorenzo Storioni, Jean Baptiste Vuillaume.
