Born in 1969 in Perugia, Filippo first trained at the Scuola per Maestri Liutai e Archettai in Gubbio, Umbria, where he made his first instruments. He then decided to become a professional violin maker and enrolled at the Newark School of Violin Making. After graduating Filippo worked from July 2007 to August 2010 as a maker at the well-known Roger Hansell workshop, in North Yorkshire. In 2010 he moved back to Italy, where he set up his workshop in Corciano, Perugia, where he now works with his wife Katy.

We are delighted to present for sale this beautiful Rugeri model cello made by Filippo in 2007. The cello has a rich golden brown oil varnish and is now set up with Ea=vah Pirazzi Gold Strings.
