Dr. Alfio Leone (1928 - 2015) was a maker of traditional Italian musical instruments. He learned his trade over many years and founded his own factory in 1950 in Catania, Sicily. In 1958 he changed the name to Musikalia and worked there for many years, eventually passing on the company to his daughter.
