Description
Like many makers of the early 19th-century Mantuan school, Giuseppe Dall'Aglio was heavily inspired by the work of Pietro Guarneri, who lived in Mantua from 1680 until 1720. He generally used a rather large model with moderate arching and chose high-quality materials. Backs are often of finely grained maple and varnish is of a yellowish brown color. His workmanship is often rough, but individual examples excel in beauty and sound quality.
