Lorenzo Storioni (1744-1816) is the last master of the classical Cremonese School. During 1775-1800, his full devotion to the revival and promotion of the traditional Cremonese violin making was highly respected. Lorenzo absorbed the tradition of violin making of his predecessors, and also combined the best essence of various masters to develop his own unique and strong character, which prospered the violin-making business in Cremona. Being a prolific maker, his 35 years of violin production is comparable to that of Giovanni Battista Ceruti (1756-1817). The violins of Lorenzo are highly praised as they have clear and bright tonality with spacious sonority greatly suited for soloists in recitals. He is indubitably the most distinguished luthier in northern Italy in the late 18th century. The public often referred to him as “Little Guarneri”, which further testified to his profound influence in the violin world.
Early violins by Lorenzo, although less refined in contour and arch structure, are full of charming attributes. After 1780, he gradually developed his own style. Overall, the body is well-proportioned and the model is somewhat flat. The resonance is full and solid, and the exuberant orange red varnish shines like that of Guarneri del Gesù’s violin. Lorenzo is without doubt a great violin master of the late Cremonese School, with every instrument full of its own rich and exquisite tone.
