Life

Lorenzo Frignani grew up in Camposanto ( Province of Modena ) as the son of Ilario Frignani and Vanna Luppi and later attended the "Fermi" technical college in Modena. Until 1982 he worked in banking as an electronics technician. At the age of 22 he decided to reorientate his career, after his interest in instrument making had already been fueled at the age of 16 in the workshop of the Modenese guitar maker Masetti. From 1984 to 1986 he attended the violin making school in Gubbio ( Province of Perugia ). After his successful training as a violin maker, he worked independently in Camposanto until 1992, after which he opened a workshop in the center of Parma . In 1996 he moved to Modena, where he still runs his workshop today.

His son was born in Finale Emilia in 1997.
