Abstrakt: Historic musical instruments, especially violins, have witnessed centuries of stories and events, passing from hand to hand among musicians, collectors and restorers. Historical last wills and trading documents makes it possible to reconstruct the movements around the world of the decorated ex-San Lorenzoviolin and its story throughout its owners. The history of this precious violin began in 1718 in the Cremonese workshop of Antonio Stradivari. It represents a mature example of the Master's “Golden Age” period (1700 to 1720) and is unique for an unusual inscription “GLORIA ET DIVITIAE IN DOMO EIUS” which adorns its center-bout ribs.
