Cozio, possess a peculiar interest, and cannot fail to interest the
reader. As Lancetti remarks, they are of two patterns, one larger than
the other. The large one is, of course, the more valuable; it is
flatter, and altogether better finished. The Violoncellos of Cappa are
among the best of the second-class Italian instruments, and are well
worthy the attention of the professor and amateur. The varnish is
frequently of very rich quality, its colour resembling that of Amati
in many instances.

CARCASSI, Francesco, Florence, about 1758.

CARCASSI, Lorenzo, about 1738.

CARCASSI, Tomaso, worked in partnership with Lorenzo, but also alone,
according to labels. There were several makers of this name.

CASINI, Antonio, Modena.

Antonius Casini, fecit Mutine anno 1680.

CASTAGNERI, Andrea, Paris, about 1735.

Andrea Castagneri, nell Palazzo
di Saessone, Pariggi, 17--

This Italian maker appears to have settled in Paris. I have seen a
Violin by Castagneri, date 1735; flat model, bold outline, and varnish
of good quality.

CASTELLANI, Pietro, Florence, died about 1820.

CASTELLANI, Luigi, Florence, died 1884.

CASTRO, Venice, 1680-1720. The wood is of good figure generally. The
outline is defective; the middle bouts are too long to be
proportionate. Sound-hole roughly worked. Varnish red, the quality of
which is scarcely up to the Venetian standard.

CATENAR, Enrico, Turin, about 1671.

Henricus Catenar, fecit Taurini anno 167--

CELIONIATI, Gian Francesco, Turin, about 1734.

Joannes Franciscus Celoniatus,
fecit Taurini, anno 17--

Appears to have copied the form of Amati. Yellow varnish, good
workmanship.

CERIN, Marco Antonio, Venice, end of the eighteenth century. Signed
himself as a pupil of Belosio.

CERUTI, Giovanni Battista, Cremona, 1755-1817.

Jo. Baptista Ceruti Cremonensis

Ceruti made a large number of Violins and Violoncellos of the Pattern
of Amati. He appears to have been a prolific workman, his instruments
numbering, it is said, about five hundred. His favourite model was the
large Amati. Giovanni Ceruti succeeded to the business of Lorenzo
Storioni in 1790, in the Via dei Coltellai, near the Piazza St.
Domenico.

CERUTI, Giuseppe, son of Giovanni, Cremona, 1787-1860. Was a maker and
restorer of instruments. He is said to have exhibited, at the
