The invention of the piano is credited to Bartolomeo Cristofori of Padua, Italy,. Cristofori was an expert harpsichord maker and was well acquainted with the body of knowledge on stringed keyboard instruments. It is not known when Cristofori first built a piano. An inventory made by his employers, the Medici family, indicates the existence of a piano by 1700. The three Cristofori pianos that surviving today were named pianoforte, later fortepiano, and later reduced to only piano.
