One night in 1980, through a series of improbable events, a fine, old, Italian violin came into the lives of Tom and Cheri Lyon Kelley. Naturally, they were curious to learn its story: Where was it made? When? By whom? And how did it make its way from the Old World to the New?

Their quest for answers led them to people and places they never could have anticipated, from some of the loveliest villas in Italy to the sordid underworld of violin fakes, frauds, and thefts.

About the Author

Tom Kelley is a retired businessman and appreciates all things Italian: food, wine, art, opera, orchestral music, and the Italian people. He is married to Cheri Lyon Kelley, a semi-retired violinist with the Louisville Orchestra. She and her remarkable violin have performed for innumerable audiences both at home and abroad for more than forty-five years. Tom enjoys nothing more than spending a quiet evening at home with Cheri and their son, Ethan.
