Andrea Postacchini (November 30, 1781 - February 3, 1862) was an Italian violin maker born in Fermo, known as "Stradivari of the Marches" (a region of central Italy). Postacchini was born on 30 December 1781 in Fermo, a hilltop town near the east coast in Italy's Marches region. He came from a wealthy, religious family of farm workers. The young Postacchini was sent to a monastery in Fermo where he met a priest who made violins using primitive tools. Postacchini became fascinated with this craft and upon his departure (age of 28), he decided to become a violinmaker. Although he was self-taught, Postacchini produced many fine instruments, all with elegant archings. His output was diverse and included not only bowed-string instruments but also guitars and bows.
