John Dilworth
LANDOLPHI (LANDOLFI), Carlo Ferdinando Worked circa. 1750-1775 Milan Italy. A German-born violin maker who came to Milan in the middle of the 18th century where he plainly came under the influence of Paolo Antonio Testore. Probably already had a technique and style learned in his native country and later work sees his Germanic style, most noticeable in the cutting of the head and soundholes, merged with more advanced Italian ideas, possibly gleaned from J. B. Guadagnini who was active in Milan 1750-58. Early work is in the style of Paulo Testore with bulbous arching and plain golden-brown varnish. Later work with flat arch, flamboyant soundholes, and a tendency to extend the last turn of the eye in the German manner, with a thicker, sometimes quite brittle, golden-yellow or red varnish. Fine violas and cellos of useful size. Succeeded by his son Pietro Antonio who worked until 1785. Also taught Pietro Mantegazza.
