Notes:
The original label the violin bears has been modified to make the instrument appear older. The 8 from ‘1852’ has been changed into a 7, so that the label now reads ‘Ascoli 1752’. Today we know that in 1752 neither Raffaele nor Pietro Paolo Desideri had yet been born.The Makers of Central Italy, Florian Leonhard, The Makers of Central Italy, Cremona
