The Consortium of Violinmakers ” Antonio Stradivari”,was founded in 1996 for the purpose of promoting and making known contemporary Cremonese violinmaking, which uoholds an ancient artisan tradition

The trademark “Cremona Liuteria”, identifying the Cremonese instruments was strongly desired by the Cremona Chamber of Commerce together with the Consortium of Violinmakers “Antonio Stradivari” Cremona, as well as by the various craftsmen associations an attempt to put a seal of quality on modern stringed instruments made in Cremona that could be recognised throughout the world.

220 hours of work are necessary to make a violin. According to the Cremonese classical technique, the basis of the construction is the inside form. Each instrument, made by the violinmaker is an exclusive and unique piece created by his creativity and ability.

The history of Cremona is closely tied to its luthier workshops. this tradition lives on in Cremona even today, where violins are made hand-made with precious woods, according to the tradition of these families of Master luthiers. The violin craftmanship of Cremona became part of the Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2012.
