PIVA, Giovanni Worked circa. 1860-1880 Modena & Piacenza Italy. Amateur maker. Completed about 12 violins. Devised his own instrument called the ‘Metallicord’.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Als Geigenmacher war er eigentlich nur Dilettant und hat höchstens ein

alterthümlicher Form mit Metallsaiten, das sich aber nicht bewährt hat.
