STRINGS ATTACHED - The Paganini Violin

"Why this Italian violin travels with its own security" PBS NewsHour 6/24/2019

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  In 2015, a delegation of city leaders from Columbus, Ohio, went to Italy's Genoa, where they heard a performance of the famed Paganini Violin.  The contingent spent the next four years working to arrange a visit for the violin to their city, and this spring, it finally arrived.  WOSU’s Jackie Shafer reports on the rare travel for the Italian national treasure, worth an estimated $35 million.
