FERRARI, Gasparo Born circa. 1700 Rieti, Lazio, Worked circa. 1730-1756 Rome Italy. Exclusively a maker of mandolins [Lebet], although Henley (probably unreliably) cites violins of Stainer model with golden-yellow varnish. Gasparus Ferrari, Romanus / Fecit anno 1733

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Unter den Ferraris der Bedeutendste. Er war hauptsächlich Lauten- und
Mandolinenmacher. Seine Arbeit ist sehr hübsch; auch sein hellgelber Lack
ist zu loben. Eine Mandore von 1744 besitzt Claudius in Malmö, eine römische
Mandoline die Sammlung Snoeck, und eine reich eingelegte grosse (Archi-)Laute
von ungewöhnlicher Breite enthält die k. Sammlung alter Musikinstrumente
in Berlin. Eine kleine, zwölfsaitige Mandoline ist in München in Privatbesitz.
