Praga Eugenio, violin, Genova 1886.

Born in a wealthy family from Casale Monferrato, Eugenio Praga (1847-1901) was a founder of the modern Genoese school. Although he cherished Stradivari models for his instruments, his mission as the first curator of the Del Gesù/Paganini Cannone violin had a great influence on his work as well.
