Gratitude... when I think of Tatsunoya, that's the first thing that comes to mind!
Riccardo Bergonzi lives and works in Cremona. In 1979, he graduated from the Cremona School of Violin Making and was awarded the Gold Medal “G. Merola” as the best pupil of his class. For ten years, he taught at the Cremona International School of Violin Making. Over the years, Riccardo Bergonzi has taken part in and received recognition at major national and international competitions: • 1976: Gold Medal at the Bagnacavallo Exhibition as the youngest violin maker. • 1988: Gold Medal at the Bagnacavallo Exhibition for best violin, with a special mention for varnish. • 1990: Gold Medal at the Bagnacavallo Exhibition for his cello. • 1991: Cremona International Triennale – second place in the viola category. Alongside his work as a violin maker, Riccardo Bergonzi is also a painter and sculptor, working with various materials. His passion for art is undoubtedly an important complement to violin making, enriching the study of form with a more personal and expressive touch.
