CERUTI, Giuseppe Antonio Born 1785 Sesto Cremonese, died 1860 Mantua Italy. Son, pupil, and assistant of Giovanni Battista Ceruti, above. Worked in similar style to his father, though less productively and with slightly more refined finish, his own label appearing only after Giovanni Battista’s death in 1817. Left Cremona for San Benedetto Po, Mantua c.1850, settling permanently in Mantua itself in 1856. Here he became the teacher of G.Antoniazzi. Two violins submitted to the Paris Exhibition 1855. Received Honourable Mention. Instruments are rare; yellow or deep red-brown varnish and fine modelling. Retained the traditional Cremonese neck, nailed rather than morticed to the upper block. Finely concentric scrolls with light chamfer. Joseph Ceruti filius Joannis Baptistae / Cremonensis fecit anno 18.. Josephus Cerutti filius Joannis Baptistae / Cremonensis fecit anno 18..
