carlo ferdinando landolfi









































carlo ferdinando landolfi (c. 1714 – 1787) was a master luthier who was active in the italian 18th century during the golden age of stringed instrument making.









































landolfi is considered among the half dozen finest stringed instrument makers in history, along with stradivarius and guarneri del gesu and pietro guarneri. instruments created centuries ago by landolfi and his fellow italian luthiers have not been improved upon despite modern technology and are still played by the finest violinists and violists in the great concert halls across the world.
