Detail Introduction
Lorenzo Ventapane is generally considered to be the most important of the Neapolitan makers outside the Gagliano family. He almost certainly trained with one of the Gaglianos, most likely Giovanni or his son Nicolo II, and his instruments bear a strong resemblance in construction, varnish and tone to those of the Gagliano family. The upright f-holes, the use of paper in the purfling and the placement of the pegs give a characteristically Neapolitan appearance. As is the case with many of the Neapolitan makers, however, the quality of the materials, and indeed of the workmanship, can vary from one instrument to the next.
