Pietro Santo Maggini
Biographies
John Dilworth
MAGGINI, Pietro Santo Cited in many older publications as the son of Giovanni Paolo Maggini, above, but this is not the case. The name may be a confection by later dealers. A five-string double bass in the Leipzig University collection is inscribed on the upper back: ‘Santo Maggini Brescia / Gottfried Thielke / Me Fecit Anno 1662’, but the first name appears to be a later addition and the instrument itself is consistent with Tielke’s known works.
