164: A VIOLIN BY VINCENZO SANNINO, NAPLES, c. 1900


Labeled, "Alfonso della Corte fabbricante di violini Napoli - Chiostro S. Chiara 18..."

Showing the collaboration of Giovanni Tedesco. 

LOB: 35.5 cm


A typical example from this prolific Neapolitan maker, this violin bears the clear stylistic influence of Giovanni Tedesco, widely presumed to have been Sannino's teacher. The back is of maple with an attractive narrow flame, and the instrument overall reflects the vitality and directness of the southern Italian tradition. Consigned by a musician, it arrives with the implicit endorsement of a player who knows instruments well.
