Domenico Montagnana (24 June 1686 – 6 March 1750) was an Italian master luthier based in Venice, Italy.
He is regarded as one of the finest violin and cello makers of his time.
His pieces, particularly his cellos, are sought after by orchestras, notable musicians or collectors, and many form parts of collections in museums.
Prices for authentic pieces can reach millions of US dollars at auction.
