This is a handcrafted Vittorio Rosti violin circa 2003, made in the Modena region of northern Italy by Italian luthier Vittorio Rosti, a respected maker rooted in the Emilia-Romagna violin-making tradition. Rosti was born in Castelfranco Emilia (Modena) and worked as a violin maker from the late 20th century into the early 21st century, blending thoughtful craftsmanship with traditional Italian techniques that reflect his regional heritage.
His instruments are known for his particular care in the selection of his spruce and maple. The varnish on this violin is a warm amber hue that highlights both its tone and aesthetic warmth and its tone is bright and clean.
As a product of Italian handcraft, this violin combines classic construction and visual elegance with responsive playability, suited for advanced players or collectors looking for an artisanal contemporary Italian instrument.
