Violin by Camillo Mandelli, Milan 1942
By Camillo Mandelli | , 1942
A refined example of Camillo Mandelli’s mature Milanese work, this 1942 violin is crafted on his personal Stradivari-inspired model, influenced by the Antoniazzi tradition. With its elegant curvaceous outline, mildly strong arching, robust, rounded edgework, and finely fluted purfling, it reflects the disciplined character of the modern Milanese school. The instrument features a two-piece Italian spruce top and a striking one-piece quarter-cut maple back, covered in a luminous transparent orange spirit varnish over a golden ground. Bright, direct, and sweet in tone with immediate responsiveness, it is preserved in mint condition and represents an excellent choice for the demanding musician or discerning collector.
