Fiorella was born in Milan in 1981. She has always been fascinated by music and soon became immersed in this magic by studying piano. Thanks to a precious suggestion, she visited the "School of Violin Making of Milan," and its enchanting, timeless atmosphere fascinated her immediately.
Violin making, a continuously evolving field where theory and practice interact with each other constantly in various disciplines, such as organology, physical acoustic, and varnish chemistry, become ideal after graduating from Scientific Highschool. In 2004 she got her degree from the School of Violin Making of Milan, where she was a student of M° Paola Vecchio, a student herself of M° Luca Primon. She also obtains a specialization in restoration techniques of string instruments.
The following year she moved to Cremona, where she worked as an assistant in various workshops, deepening her knowledge of the construction method, repairs, and sound adjustment.
She makes instruments inspired by the old Cremonese tradition, and she cares a lot about the tonal qualities, the style, and the craft of her instruments in every detail, searching for a unique, powerful sound with a warm and rich tone. She uses oil varnish based on ancient recipes to create depth and a warm tone. She chooses only the finest and well-seasoned tonewoods, Val di Fiemme's spruce and Balcan's maple, characterized by excellent acoustic quality.
