Summary/Abstract: The Music Museum in Venice, Italy, (Museo Della Musica di Venezia), is a detached museum where examples of Italian Instrument Making are usually exhibited. The musical instruments exhibit in museum consist of the personal collection of Artemio Versari, the Italian musician and historian. This collection, which involves mostly violin family instruments, includes a small number of winds with plectrums, such as lutes and mandolins. In the museum, a lute dating to the 17th century draws attention similarity to the Istanbul lutes with its ornamental features as well as its structural. It is also seen that the instrument, which has no label and therefore the maker and date of manufacture are unknown, underwent some changes afterwards. In this article, information about the museum and Artemio Versari is given and the possibility that the instrument may be a lute made in Istanbul is discussed.
