Born in 1690, second son of Alessandro, worked in Naples, died in 1771.  Supposed to have worked with Stradivari in early youth, modeling Stradivarian in conception.  Not a very prolific maker with neat, completely artistic workmanship.  Tone rather full and rich, highly responsive in all registers.
