The La Pavoni Stradivari Espresso Machine, introduced in 2000, gets its inspiration from the world-famous violinist Antonio Stradivari. It is the first model introduced from La Pavoni since 1968, and is a celebratory gesture for the brand’s 100 year anniversary. Of course, the La Pavoni Stradivari is high-class and uniquely beautiful for these reasons.
