317 - Violin, Giuseppe Virzi, 1921. Label: “Fratelli Virzi Iovino No. 131, 1921, Naples, Italy. New York Giuseppe Virzi,” 59 cm. Bow with silver plated metal mount (defects and missing parts) In case. The auction house does not guarantee the completeness or proper functioning of musical instruments. Good overall condition with slight signs of wear; in particular, there are signs of wear on the edges of the soundboard https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1x0Z2L_Ac19jhXmyeAYPmif5uTk2V86PQ The brothers Giuseppe and Giovanni Virzi were violin makers originally from Palermo, sons and students of Rosario Virzi. Around 1912–1913, they emigrated to New York, where they opened their renowned stringed-instrument workshop in 1914. They nevertheless maintained strong production and commercial ties with Italy, particularly with the cities of Naples and Rome, as evidenced by the presence on the label of the surname Iovino and the reference to the city of Naples, where they had commercial and manufacturing partnerships. This partnership with Iovino, which was also linked to a deep family bond (Giuseppe Virzì had, in fact, married Giuseppina Iovino in 1911), enabled the company to better manage transatlantic production and distribution, combining the prestige of the New York market with the deep-rooted Neapolitan tradition of craftsmanship.
