Biography
[edit]Throughout his career, Valenzano is believed to have worked in three different countries. A brief account of his travels would trace his origins in Italy, followed by a sixteen-year stay in Spain starting in 1797, two years in France from 1813 to 1815, a decade in Trieste, and finally Rome in 1825, where he died around 1830[1][2].
Violin maker
[edit]Valenzano’s nomadic tendencies and extensive professional activities have made him a difficult figure for experts to pinpoint. The style of his work was as varied as his personal history. However, his craftsmanship was skillful, and his instruments are still renowned today for their tonal qualities[1][2].
