    Valerio Prilipco

    Valerio (Valery) Prilipco is a violin maker of Russian origin, born in Orel, Russia, in 1952. He initially trained as a musician, earning a diploma in musicology in Orel and a further diploma from “il Conservatorio Superiore.” After a brief career as a musician, he turned to violin making, working first in Paris, where his craftsmanship earned him the “Médaille de la Chambre de Métiers du Val-de-Marne.” He later relocated to Cremona, Italy, where he opened his own workshop and studied under the respected maker Gio Batta Morassi.
