Here are some of the most amazing custom-made #pianos by Fazioli. My absolute favorite – on my ideal wish list of course… – is the Marco Polo, a red F308 celebrating the ties of Venice and China, or nearby Sacile and the Chinese commissioning client, by its reference to the Venetian explorer who opened the silk route, and the reproduction of a Canaletto canvas inside the lid.   What is truly remarkable about the Fazioli approach to manufacture is not only the founder’s idea of the #piano as an object of technical and aesthetic evolution, but also the company’s philosophy: to produce individual, high achieving pianos for performers, endowed with a unique personality and sound. Rejecting any logic of industrial serialization, the 55 employees of Fazioli produce 150 pianos per year (each piano takes 2 years to complete) and 95% of them are sold outside Italy.   Here is the story of the Italian Ferrari of pianos!
