Italian violin hometown-cremona
Cremona is located in a small town in northern Italy. The town has more than 100 violins and string instrument studios, specializing in creating string instruments for musicians around the world. It also "produces" well-known lion makers, such as Antonio Stradivari and Nicolo Amati, who were all born in this town.
In the history of Cremona's development, the 16th century was an important period. At that time, it was a famous music town in Europe. It not only gave birth to masters like Claudio Monteverdi, the representative figure of the Baroque music period, but also craftsmen who could make exquisite string instruments. Andrea Amati was one of them, and he built the town of Cremona into a town dedicated to making violins and made it better.
By the second half of the 16th century, the French royal family customized all the string music necessary for the entire Royal Orchestra to the Amatti family, which also marked that the town of Cremona had already ranked in the leading position in Europe. By the 18th century, Antonio Stradivari pushed Cremona's violin production to the top.
