Renato Scrollavezza, Parma 1972

Scrollavezza (b.1927, d.2019), was a self-taught maker from the age of 15. In his mid-twenty’s, he went to study violinmaking in Cremona and went on to learn from Gaetano Sgaraboto, Giacomo and Leandro Bisiach Ii, Mariano Caicchioni, Ansaldo Poggi, Fernando Garimberti, Giuseppe Ornati and Simone Sacconi. The influence of the Bisiach/Milanese tradition is very strong with Scrollavezza. Indeed, one will find that it has much in common with our Igino Sderci (who studied under Bisiach). Scrollavezza became enormously influential as he set up the new Parma school and dedicated himself to teaching and research. He was also the curator of Paganini’s famed ‘Il Cannone’ Guarnerius, one of Italy’s national treasures. He is remembered for his generosity as a teacher and his work is carried on by his daughter, Elisa and the many students he guided. This instrument has a sweet and lovely tone and is malleable and nuanced.
