Giovanni Schwarz was apprenticed to Eugenio Degani (1840-1915) from 1877 and moved with him to Venice in 1888, where he deepened and developed classical concepts in his own workshop. Masterpieces of the modern Venetian school of Eugenio Degani and his students serve as important bridges to 20th century violin making.

Giovanni Schwarz's fine Italian violins are the works of an exceptionally gifted master: they were created with flawless design and technical perfection, and they feature unique varnishes which were the fruit of many years‘ experimentation. One of his 1913 Italian violins's most striking features is its rich deep-red oil-based varnish and its delicate texture.
