  • The instrument would be the one that belonged to Leopold Mozart, who told of his violin Francesco Ruggeri 1680 a "Study" for violin and with whom he has been portrayed in a dipindo preserved in the museum of Salzburg, in which some details of the table seem to correspond to this violin (the only one still existing with the original label dated 1680). On the death of Leopold, the instrument would have been inherited by his widow, Constanze Mozart reaching, owner of the violin in 1810, from which he would have bought from Luigi Tarisio.
