Biographies
John Dilworth
CASINI, Antonio Born 1630, died 1690 Modena Italy. A fine and interesting maker, although rare. Stylistically reminiscent of Giuseppe Guarneri ‘filius Andreae’, with a rich varnish but slightly coarse finish. Although his apprenticeship is unknown, he held an appointment as luthier to the ducal court of Modena, and would therefore have had some knowledge of most of the principal makers of the period. Cellos also known, of large pattern. Antonio Casini / Modena 1673 Antonio Casini / Modena 1658 Antonio Casini fecit / Muttinae anno 1683 Antonius Cassinus fecit / Mutinae anno 1687
