 Maestronet Library - Andrea Postacchini
Although Postacchini is the most famous violinmaker to come out of this region, until now little has been known about him, with much of his output being credited to another Andrea Postacchini, due to the variation in style and refinement between his early and late work.
According to the archives in the Santa Maria delle Vergini church in Fermo, there was only one Andrea Postacchini and he was born on 30 December 1786 in Fermo, a hilltop town near the east coast in Italy's marches region.
But perhaps his greatest compliment occurred at an exhibition in Fermo in 1869 when his work was acknowledged as a unique continuation in direction and style of Antonio Stradivari, an accolade which gained his the title "Stradivari of the Marches".

 The Prince, by Nicolo Machiavelli; CHAPTER VIII Page 2
But it appearing a paltry thing to serve under others, he resolved, with the aid of some citizens of Fermo, to whom the slavery of their country was dearer than its liberty, and with the help of the Vitelleschi, to seize Fermo.
After these murders Oliverotto, mounted on horseback, rode up and down the town and besieged the chief magistrate in the palace, so that in fear the people were forced to obey him, and to form a government, of which he made himself the prince.
He killed all the malcontents who were able to injure him, and strengthened himself with new civil and military ordinances, in such a way that, in the year during which he held the principality, not only was he secure in the city of Fermo, but he had become formidable to all his neighbours.

Nesi trasferisce su grande schermo, quindi il suo stesso Fughe da fermo, libro del 1995 che ha molto interessato il pubblico, diviso la critica, e costituito uno spunto di riflessione importante per quei thirty-something oggi forse scontenti per qualche superficialità di troppo in L’ultimo bacio.
Il bel volto di Marco Cocci rappresenta il centro, nel film, di una variopinta umanità fotografata nelle strade e nelle periferie, un mondo un po’ borghese però vivo e vegeto, che s’incrocia con ballerine russe, anarchici strampalati, prostitute di provincia Il senso di queste “fughe da fermo”, secondo Nesi, semplicemente non esiste.
Sono casi, paure di crescere, attaccamenti al passato (come quello dì Fede, innamorato della ragazza sbagliata in tempi adolescenziali) giri a vuoto.
