GUADAGNINI, Antonio Born 1831, died 1881 Turin Italy. Son and pupil of Gaetano Guadagnini (II), below. Possibly spent some time in France during his apprenticeship. Many instruments bearing his label made for him by Mermillot and possibly other Mirecourt craftsmen. Also employed E. Marchetti, who probably played a very significant role in production of instruments. Medals awarded in Turin 1858, Florence 1861, and Milan 1881. Generally Stradivari models with fine low arch and slightly brittle golden-red varnish. Antonio Guadagnini fece / Torino, anno 1867 / A.G. / T.
