- Andrea_Postacchini abstract "Andrea Postacchini (1788–1862) was an Italian violin maker born in Fermo, known as the "Stradivari" of the Marches (a region of central Italy).According to the most recent research, Andrea Postacchini son of Amico, came from a wealthy, religious family of farm workers. It was decided that he should follow an ecclesiastical career and so the young Postacchini was sent to a monastery in Fermo. There he met a priest who made violins using primitive tools. Andrea became fascinated with this craft and upon his departure (age of 28), he decided to become a violinmaker. Although he was self-taught Postacchini produced many fine instruments, all with elegant archings.His output was diverse and included not only bowed-string instruments but also guitars and bows and restoration work. Postacchini's choice of wood was excellent. The tonal quality of his wood is excellent as well and shows that he was not only a brilliant craftsman but that he also had a good understanding of the acoustical properties required. During his lifetime, Postacchini received great acclaim at exhibitions and fairs. But perhaps his greatest compliment occurred at an exhibition in Fermo in 1869 when his work was acknowledged as a unique continuation in direction and style of Antonio Stradivari, an accolade which gained him the title "Stradivari of the Marches".According to the archives in the Santa Maria delle Vergini church in Fermo, there was only one Andrea Postacchini and he was born on 30 December 1786 in Fermo, a hilltop town near the east coast in Italy's marches region. Postacchini spent his life in Fermo and died there on 3 February 1862, age 76.Raphaele Postacchini (1823-1892) was Andrea's son and pupil.In 1993, The Andrea Postacchini International Violin Competition was organized (in Fermo, Italy) to carry on the legacy of the genius of Andrea Postacchini the "Stradivari of the Marches"".
