San Valentino, Cremona, until 1750. Very careful workmanship on the pattern of Amati. He selected very good wood, enhanced the beauty of his instruments with double purfling, and applied a golden yellow varnish of excellent quality. Instruments by him are said to be of exquisite tone, but there is little evidence for the identity of the maker and the spelling of the name is doubtful (Rogeri — Ruggieri?).
