The Academia Cremonensis is a School of Violinmaking and Bowmaking. Students learn how to make a violin or a bow.
Via Giovanni Maria Platina 66, Cremona, Italy
The visit consists in an explanation of how it's made a Violin, and a Bow, the woods used, a lot of curiosity about Stradivari and the violin art, about making, varnishes and... prices of violins. You can touch and smell the wood, you can take some chips of wood... After you'll go upstairs into the school, in the classroom with students at work, with the smell of cutted wood, looking at the tools they use, and speaking with teachers and students, they come from all over the World, maybe you can meet someone from your country. The school is inside a beautyful historical palace that gives to all the visit the right landscape. After the visit, you'll understand better the "Violin World" and in the future you'll appreciate better this art.
In front of the "Palazzo MINA" the hystorical building of the Academia Cremonensis
