The Italian city of Cremona, in Lombardy Region, is considered as the violin's birthplace, where between the 17th and 18th century the Amati, Guerneri, and Stradivari families created some of the finest string instruments that the world has ever seen.
Over the last 12 years, each September Cremona has hosted the unique exhibition of handcrafted string instruments Mondomusica, attended by thousands of visitors including musicians, instrument makers, distributors, dealers and buyers, music teachers and students, collectors and investors.
