Welcome to the Gianotti instruments' world.

Nobody knows exactly how many instruments he made; he didn't leave any document concerning the buyer or copy of certificate of authenticity but we estimate he made between 400 and 450 instruments; about 200/230 violins, 100/120 violas, 100 cellos and 1 double-bass.

In any case we are absolutely sure that all instruments are labelled internally with a personal ticker and signed on the internal side of the back as he made since his first violin made in prison.
Starting from 1978 another element permits to recognize the instruments' authenticity: to the level of the joint among the neck and the body there is a brand with the logo of the Master.

In the data base we can archive features of each instrument and main photos.
The database can be completed only with the contribution of the instruments' owners who can contact the foundation at the following address:
