The Luthier
The Art of Care
My name is Marcelo Cavanna and, for nearly twenty years, I have worked at the heart of Cremonese lutherie. After earning my master luthier's diploma at the "Antonio Stradivari" International Professional Institute for Lutherie and Woodcraft (IPIALL) in Cremona, I settled in Cremona, pursuing a path that blends innovation and artisanal tradition.
In my workshop at Largo Pagliari 16, I passionately build bowed string instruments — violins, violas, cellos. The quality of the materials, the precision of the finishes and a craftsman's approach guide me through every stage of the work.
My work has been recognised in national and international settings: I have received prestigious awards at the national ANLAI competitions and, more recently, a Certificate of Merit and an Honourable Mention as a finalist in the violin category at the "Antonio Stradivari" International Triennial Competition — a tangible sign of contemporary excellence in lutherie.
