318 - Violin, Leandro Bisiach, Milan, 1903 Label: “Leandro Bisiach of the Cremona School” and handwritten date: 1903 Height: 59 cm The auction house does not guarantee the completeness or proper functioning of musical instruments. The violin shows no particular external defects, other than natural wear and tear from age. Some of the screws securing the strings may be missinghttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nc43uGCYgF7MRLqJWOHttul0OGfrI376 Born in Casale Monferrato in 1864, Leandro Bisiach took up the violin in his youth, initially trying his hand at violin making purely for pleasure. The turning point came in 1886 in Milan, where his encounter with the Cremonese violin makers Gaetano, Riccardo, and Romeo Antoniazzi allowed him to perfect his technique. Thanks to his extraordinary entrepreneurial talent, Bisiach established himself as one of the most influential dealers, restorers, and experts in Italian violin making. In Milan, he ran several workshops, including the famous atelier opened in 1905 in Piazza del Duomo. His workshop became a veritable breeding ground for talent, hosting future masters of the caliber of Gaetano Sgarabotto, Giuseppe Ornati, Ferdinando Garimberti, and Igino Sderci, as well as his four sons—Andrea, Giacomo, Leandro Junior, and Carlo—who inherited the business. In addition to its cultural and commercial impact and its role as a mentor, the Bisiach atelier distinguished itself through a prolific production of new instruments, often crafted as copies or imitations of the classics and characterized by a shaded varnish. Over time, the actual instrument-making was gradually delegated to his assistants, leaving Leandro with the crucial task of supervision and finishing.
