Bartolomeo Cristofori 360th Anniversary of his Birth

DESPITE HIS name being too little known today, Bartolomeo Cristofori is worth lighting an immense candelabrum for. As the inventor of the piano, Signor Cristofori’s legacy, if not his name, sustains.

Google is celebrating the Italian inventor today, on the 360th anniversary of his birth, with an interactive Bach-playing animation.

Happy birthday, Signor Cristofori!
