Born in Monza in 1961, Vittorio Villa has a Conservatory Diploma in Violin playing and has performed as a violinist with important Italian orchestras such as the orchestra of the Verona Arena and the Angeli cum orchestra of Milan.
He obtained the Diploma of violin maker at the International Violin-making School of Cremona under the guidance of his brother Marcello Villa.
Also teacher at the same institute, he furthermore had the opportunity to research the aspects of physical acoustics in the field of bowed instruments. It is due to this background, both as a performer and as a researcher, that Vittorio Villa's instruments are sought after by musicians for their sound quality in addition to their fine workmanship.
Vittorio Villa, finalist in several Italian and international violin making competitions (City of Bagnacavallo, A. Stradivari Cremona, City of Baveno), prefers to base his work on the classic Stradivari, Guarneri and Amati patterns and he also builds reproductions of famous antique instruments. His varnish is of a transparent dark-orange color. At present working with his brother Marcello Villa in their Cremona workshop, he also at times still plays in local chamber ensembles.
