Biographies
John Dilworth
BERGONZI, Zosimo Born 1724, died 1779 Cremona Italy. Son of Carlo Bergonzi (I), above. For a short time c.1760 he was the only active luthier in Cremona, but evidence of his work is slight. A mandolin dated 1770 is in the collection of the Museo Stradivariano, Cremona, and a child’s violin survives, with painted imitation purfling, dated 1775. However, also in the Museo Stradivariano collection are two violin moulds inscribed with his name. [Gindin]
