Sergio Peresson

Sergio Peresson
Sergio Peresson (1913-1991) was an Italian-born violin maker who is considered one of the most phenomenal makers of the 20th century. Born in 1913 in Udine, Italy, Sergio made his first violin in 1943 before moving to Caracas, Venezuela, in 1947. There he primarily did repair work for the Venezuelan Symphony Orchestra and had a modest production of new instruments. He moved to Philadelphia in 1963 and was employed by William Moennig and Son.
