PROFILE

Lorenzo Frignani began constructing and restoring bow and plucked stringed instruments in 1982. Since then he has received numerous national and international prizes and awards and he regularly works together with various museums and musical institutions both locally and worldwide.

Frignani is the curator and assessor for the Toscanini Foundation of Parma.

He is Vice President of the ALI (the Italian Association of Luthery for professional luthiers) and is a member of the ALADFI (French Association of Luthiers).

Since 1997, Lorenzo Frignani has been artistic consultant to and lecturer in the art of lute-making at the Pieve di Cento School of Luthery, Province of Bologna.

He often hosts musical exhibitions and conferences and is frequently invited to participate in events of a similar nature. He has also, on several occasions, been a member of national and international juries.

Lorenzo Frignani has published several books and texts on the topic of luthery which, since their publication, have become an important point of reference for both private and public collectors.

In 2007 he founded LF Edizioni, his own publishing house specialising in publications dedicated to bow and plucked stringed instruments. LF Edizioni’s primary objective is to spread the tradition of luthery by translating into Italian, texts originating in other languages.

Frignani is a collector and expert of international renown, in particular of plucked instruments of Italian origin.

He lives and works in Modena, Italy.
