Il conte Cozio e il mito di Stradivari

To mark the 270th anniversary of the birth of Count Ignazio Alessandro Cozio di Salabue, the Medieval Court is hosting an exhibition that aims to promote and raise awareness among the general public of this unique Piedmontese figure, born in Casale Monferrato on 14 March 1755.

The exhibition unfolds through the fascinating, adventurous and, in some ways, incredibly “modern” biography of this noble and forward-thinking collector, through a selection of 20 string instruments, including violins and violas of exceptional historical importance, 12 of which belonged to Count Cozio and many of which are being exhibited to the public for the first time.
