LIUTAIO, Via dei Leoni, 4/r, 055 280573

Can you hear the heavenly music? Magical, musical, mesmerizing, describes the Liutaio on Via dei Leoni, 4/r. Though quite new, this quaint yet small store has a fascinating atmosphere which resounds with sweet notes from the instruments repaired by Jamie Marie Lazzara. Walk softly into its interiors, made by this skilled owner which display magnificent wood inlays which were an inspiration derived from the antique choir stall of the Siena Cathedral. Located on the ground floor of the ancient tower of Filipetri which originally belonged to a rich and philanthropic Florentine merchant family of the Guelfa faction, the ambience harmonizes as a perfect backdrop for the ancient musical instruments.
