RANTA, Pietro Worked circa. 1729-1733 Brescia Italy. Two violins of these dates recorded. Amatisé model. No instruments or archival evidence of this maker currently known.
Cecie Stainer+
A maker in Brescia in 1733, who followed the Amati pattern.
Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Im Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts gehörte er noch zu den von Geigern bevorzugten Italienischen Meistern. Seine Geigen müssen durch das Alter statt gewonnen verloren haben, da es sonst nicht begreiflich wäre, dass man gerade ihn einmal besonders schätzte; denn er war nur ein schwächlicher Amati-Nachahmer.
Karel Jalovec+
Brescia. 1733. Worked on the model of N. Amati, but his work is not good. He applied a yellow-brown varnish, or, to be more exact, brown varnish on yellow ground. Price 10.000 Kc.
