Biographies

John Dilworth

GUADAGNINI, Felice Vittorio Born 1811, died 1839 Turin Italy. Son Carlo Guadagnini, above and pupil of Gaetano (II), below. May have worked with D’Espine. Despite his short life, he holds considerable responsibility for returning the Guadagnini workshop to violin making which in the previous generation had focussed on guitars. Work, although rare, showing many mannerisms of Giovanni Battista, with red- or golden-brown varnish. Felix Guadangini nepos Joan. Bapt. / fecit Taurini, anno Domini 1836
