Biographies
John Dilworth
BERGONZI, Carlo (II) Born 1757, died 1836 Cremona Italy. Younger son of Zosimo Bergonzi, below; brother of Nicola, below. Very rarely encountered maker. One guitar dated 1821 in the Museo Stradivariano, Cremona. Earliest violin dated 1780. Usually widely-set soundholes and slightly pointed corners; otherwise broadly similar to the work of his brother. Possibly took over the workshop on Nicola’s retirement in 1804. [Gindin]
