There's a legend that the design of the church is where Stradivari
​got his inspiration for his f-holes.

Stradivari statue. There's no real record of what he actually looks like, so there are many different images.

He was buried in the Church of San Domenico, but when the church was torn down the tomb was saved and moved to the end of the property where the church had been. There's no knowledge as to whether the body was saved.

Also a resident.

The plaque commemorating Stradivari's house that is still in existence. They know the house was one of two next to each other, and they think it is this one, but there's actually no records to prove it. It's just generally accepted as fact that this is the house.
