as to not just elicit the brilliant chraracteristics of the violinist but to reward listeners with sounds that transport them to the celestial sphere," Marco tells me. "The Ferrari that often brings out the best in each drivers and wows the spectators in such races".
....His dedication towards the making of violins may only be matched by the passion that he inhabits for life itself. If he's not working in his studio, Marco mostly enjoys reflecting on a beauty of things from nature and architecture, reading avidy, visiting galleries, listening to music, and adoring spending time with friends over home-cooked meals and vintage red wine.
....His type of music? he savours all genres as long as they have something to say and personifies a deeper engagement of the many facets of life.

GLOBETROTTERING LIUTAIO
Marco acknowledges that he has been extremely fortunate to assume the role of globetrotter because of his profesional obligations. But, in a more revealing vein, he shares that he is constantly unearthing the truth about each city that he visits in term of its chancing cultural and social developments as opposed to blindy accepting what he reads in the media.
....Picking his favourite city, it would be New York for its architecture and energetic brio. He also has a penchant for include Bangkok, Singapore, Paris and Venice, and an unnamed hill in tuscany near Florence that he longs to return after each overseas trip as there's no other place on earth like it. He says it resonates with the simply pleasures of life more intensely.
....Making violins is a laboured effort, for the tiniest miscalculation can mean the difference between excellence and mediocrity. But to Marco, it's undeniably a lobour of love.
...." In the end, it's all that matters after the music has been played and the audience has left the concert hall", he exclaims.

MAKING VIOLINS IS A CRAFT
wrought with precision and patiente. If you want to create a masterpiece that not only lends itself to symmetry and gloos but also renders perfect musical note, then not even to slightest detail should slip past your judgement, as difficult as it can be to hone this monumental skill, the end product makes it all the more rewarding when it finely delivers the music.
....According to Marco Minnozzi, master violinmaker from Ravenna, Italy, that moment of revelation is like recognising the beauty in one of Picasso's women.
....Considering that he has been making violins for almost 26 years, it's rather surprising to learn about his sentiments, like how his hearth would race without fail each time he sees, or hears, someone play one of his creations even un till the present time. Regardless of whether that someone is an amateur or a seasoned professional on the world stage, it's always a joy for Marco to witness his contribution to music.
....And when he talk about the art of building these instruments, his virtuosity add meaning to his word in the same manner that a priest would simply touch lives with an ordinary sermon.

MAKING OF A MAESTRO
Marco always had a soulful alliance with musii since childhood. More than than any other kind of musical instruments, the violin enjoys a strong hold on his attention, steering

him to become who he is today, generally known in the industry as a liutaio.
....He studied in Parma under the guidance of Maestro Liutaio Renato Scrollavezza, before opening his own studio shortly after. He also furthered his restoration techniques in New York learning from renowed master such Vahakn Nigogosian, Horacio Pineiro and Rene' Morel.
...." I've been very lucky to be under the tutelage of some of the greatest masters in violin making who continue to shape and influence the way I approach my work" says Marco.
....The process of making violins is an intricate one. From the choice of air-dried maple wood seasoned for a least a decade to gluing of joints that affects the ultimate sound quality, each decision verges on surgital accuracy and precision. moreover, no two piece of wood has the same proprieties thus each must be worked differently in every isntance.

THE FERRARY OF VIOLIN MAKING
Marco compares the process of violin making to the costruction of a Ferrari sports car uesd primarily for competitions.
As in the case af the latter that has chalked up triumphant record in car races held all over the world, a musical instruments must also have what it takes to make it to the international arena of performing arts. "To do so, all aspects must be carefully considered and executed so
