Louis B. Bellini was born in 1935, in Monte Azul Paulista, Brazil. He began his career as a wood sculptor, learning from and working with Mr.Pascoli from 1955 to 1960. However, his reputation as an extremely reliable violinmaker and restorer of old instruments was built during his days with Mr. Sacconi at the Wurlitzer workshop in New York.
His message concerning his work: My immense admiration for the work of the great old master has inspired and motivated me to devote all my efforts in making exact reproductions, a work that I have always loved, in part maybe because I feel that the process of learning never ends.
