Biographies

The overview above is drawn from the following published accounts. Read them in the original:

John Dilworth+

BARBIERI, Francesco Worked circa. 1695-1750 Verona Italy. Bass viol in the Kiel collection, Lisbon dated 1697. Vannes and Henley describe violins on a model resembling Andrea Guarneri.

Cecie Stainer+

A maker in Verona, 1695. His violins follow the pattern of Andrea Guarneri.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Seine Geigen erinnern an das Modell Andr. Guarneris, sind jedoch nicht
sehr gut. Nach Vidal und Grillet soll er 1695 in Verona gearbeitet haben. In
Instrumenten aus den Jahren 1698, 1740, 1750, die ich zu sehen Gelegenheit
hatte, war stets Mantua als Wohnort angegeben. Valdrighi lässt ihn noch 1780
leben (No. 3665). Ein Pietro B. soll um 1750 gelebt haben.
