Giuseppe Gagliano
Violin maker
(1742 – 1820)
Son and pupil of the great Neapolitan maker Nicolò Gagliano, Giuseppe (fl. 1770–1800) attained a level of craftsmanship that at its best equals that of his father. He later collaborated with his brother Antonio, but in general works produced exclusively by Giuseppe are superior to those produced jointly.
Only recently has credible biographical information concerning the violin makers of the Neapolitan school come to light. Until the experts who have researched this material publish their archival findings, we leave the birth and death dates of these makers as previously accepted.
