Milan, 1772–1814
Carlo Mantegazza was a violin maker active in Milan, Italy, from 1772 to 1814. John Dilworth identifies him as the son, pupil, and successor of Pietro Giovanni Mantegazza, and notes that he worked alongside Francesco as Fratelli Mantegazza. However, Willibald Leo Lütgendorff offers a differing perspective, suggesting Carlo Mantegazza was probably a brother of Pietro Giovanni Mantegazza, whose work he closely resembled.
