The Centopievese School of Lutemaking , together with the Museum of Music, bear witness to the deeply rooted musical and artisan traditions of Pieve di Cento, where lute workshops have been documented since the end of the 18th century.

The Centopievese School of Lutemaking is located by the 14th-century Porta Ferrara, whose battlements from the Bentivoglio period have recently been brought to light, and in the rooms of the adjoining ex-slaughterhouse. 

The School organizes both professional and amateur courses.
It is also possible to book guided visits for schools, tourist groups ect. by telephone or e-mail.
