Giuseppe Gagliano
Giuseppe (Joseph) Gagliano was born in Naples in 1726 to Nicolo Gagliano. Like his father, he modeled many of his instruments after Stradivari and Amati. For many years, he worked with his brother, Antonio Gagliano, and the two shared credit on several instruments.
Giuseppe often used a deep orange varnish. His work is precise and beautiful.
