Detail Introduction
Benvenuto Botturi , born at Gambera(Brescia)1882. Studied with Diguini at Cremona. Worked at Brescia, 1929-1941, then abandoned the art to become administrator of an important firm for mechanically cutting down forest trees. During the 12years at violin-making he must have been particularly assiduous in amassing 100 violins, several violas and cellos, one quartet, and about 200 bows. Superb Strad modelling, slowly drying reddish-brown oil varnish. Won several medal and other awards. Instruments eagerly sought after in Austria, France and USA.
