Abstract
The Museo del Violino (Museum of the Violin) is the adaptive re-use of the former Palazzo dell’Arte in Cremona, built in the 1930s by the Italian Rationalist architect Carlo Coccia. The building, located on Piazza Marconi within the historic city center, had seen multiple uses and was unused when Giovanni Arvedi, a local entrepreneur, decided to renovate it and convert it into the current Museum. The art and craft of violin-making was perfected in Cremona beginning in the 1500s, reaching its zenith in the early 1700s with the iconic work of Antonio Stradivari and Guiseppe Guarneri (del Gesù). The museum will exhibit several major collections of historical instruments, as well as contemporary prize-winners of the triannual violin-making competition, and a collection of Stradivari’s tools.
