ZANOLI, Giacomo Worked circa. 1725-1765 Verona Italy. Son of Giovanni Battista Zanoli, below. Evidence exists to show his attendance in Venice in 1742, and one cello has an internal inscription ‘Padua 1737’. Very fine work on Stainer-derived model. Medium height arching of somewhat square cross-section. Small corners, upright soundholes, distinctive scroll with large concentric volute nicely symmetrical, fairly long slender pegbox with very parallel back face, narrow chin. Excellent cellos of powerful Montagnana-like apperance. Fine rich and transparent golden-yellow brown varnish. Walnut used for linings. Large pins in upper and lower back. Giacomo Zanoli fece in Verona, 1741 Fato in Verona di Giacomo Zanoli 1752

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff

Sohn des Giov. Batt. Z. Anfangs arbeitete er in Venedig und soll um 1740 in Padua gewesen sein. Er kehrte jedenfalls nach dem Tode seines Vaters nach Verona zurück, wo er die ererbte Werkstatt übernahm. Seine Arbeit ist ohne Kunstwerth. Am häufigsten kommen seine Violen und Violoncelli vor. Seinen Venezianer Zettel scheint er selbst gesetzt und gedruckt zu haben.

Henri Poidras

Son of one above mentioned. This maker worked at Venice and made ‘cellos that are much sought after. His violins recall those by Landolphus.

Karel Jalovec

Venice, Padua, Verona 1730 — 63. Son of Giov. Bapt. Zanoli. He worked in Venice and came in the forties of the 18th century to Padua, where he stayed until his father’s death. From Padua he moved, in the years 1755 — 58, to Verona, where he took over his father’s workshop. He worked on various patterns, the arching of his instruments is, however, almost always designed on the model of Guarneri del Gesu. His best instruments are of large pattern, beautiful low arching, broadly rounded-off edges, neatly finished purfling. He applied a wonderful brown-yellow or brown-red varnish. Price 40.000 Kc; some of his works, however, are valued at far above 100.000 Kc.
