life and work

Gaetano Antoniazzi was born in Cremona in August 1825. He learned the craft of violin making in the Cerutis workshop . In 1870 Antoniazzi settled in Milan and transferred the violin making knowledge of Enrico and Giovanni Battista Ceruti there. It is only from this moment on that instruments signed by him can be found. Milan became a stronghold of violin making. In this environment, numerous Italian violin makers such as Gaetano Sgarabotto, Giuseppe Ornati, Ferdinando Garimberti, Igino Sderci, Rocchi Sesto, Cipriano Briani, Giuseppe Pedrazzini, Camillo Mandelli, Ferriccio Varagnolo, Camillo Colombo, Vincenzo Cavani, Pietro Paravicini, Albert Bis Carlo Bisiach, Pietro Borghi, Mirco Tarasconi, Leandro (Junior) and Giacomo Bisiach, Iginio Siega and Carlo Ferrario received an outstanding education.

Gaetano's work is good, original and spontaneous, but not always done very carefully. The paint is yellow-brown or sometimes red-brown in color. Its labels were usually handwritten.
