Violin maker
–

Cesare Magrini began his training in the mid-1970s in the workshop of his uncle, Primo Contavalli (1899–1989), placing him within the established Bolognese tradition.

These relationships, supported by Contavalli’s ...Read More network, linked Magrini directly to the principal figures of the Bolognese school.
