| Description： | Guitar-lyre (chitarra-lyra ad un braccio) about 1925 Luigi Mozzani, Italian, 1869–1943 Italy (Cento) Classification: Musical instruments Object is currently not on view Mozzani began designing his own instruments in the late 19th century, when he became dissatisfied with the small parlor-type guitars that were common in Italy at the time. He established schools of lutherie in Bologna, Cento, and Roverto. This instrument\'s design reflects the Art Nouveau style of the early twentieth century, with an organic, curvilinear shape that is derived from nature. One of the more interesting technical features of Mozzani\'s harp guitars is a bolt-on neck, the angle of which can be easily adjusted. |
