Alessandro Milani -
Master Luthier
Preserving the soul of craftsmanship through digital authenticity.
Context
Renowned in Cremona, the birthplace of Stradivarius, Alessandro Milani crafts violins celebrated for their tone and artistry. Seeking to safeguard their authenticity, he partnered with Beligent to integrate digital certification, ensuring each instrument tells its full story.
Challenge
Counterfeiting and provenance verification have long been issues in the fine instrument market. Alessandro wanted a solution that:
- Protected his instruments without altering their acoustics and aesthetics.
- Provided proof of authenticity and ownership.
- Enabled clients to verify their instrument easily.
Solution
Beligent developed a customized Digital Product Passport connected to each violin, accessible through the Beligent Scanner.
- NFC integration: The tag connects the physical instrument to its digital record.
- Blockchain verification: Ensures permanent, tamper-proof proof of authenticity.
- Beligent Scanner access: Owners and buyers simply scan the violin to view its certificate, materials, history, and maintenance records.
