Francesco Stradivari (1 February 1671 - 11 May, 1743) was an Italian violin maker, and son of the famous Antonio Stradivari.
Too Far from the Tree
He survived his father by only six years, during which time he was not particularly productive.. – tarisio.com
Both Francesco and Omobono were overshadowed by the genius of their father; they produced good work, if not work of the highest quality. – “The Stradivari Family”
“ @www.newadvent.org
Antonio was a superstar, he
Made the name of Stradivari;
A synonym for all that’s great,
But sadly, when he met his fate
His son Francesco, as his sequel,
Never was his father’s equal.
Envoi
Family fortunes are precarious
Even for a Stradivarius.
