DEGANI, Eugenio Born 1842 Merlara, died 1901 Venice Italy. Son and pupil of Domenico Degani, above. Moved to Montagnana in 1868, where he was making violins from at least 1872 when he won a gold medal at the Treviso Esposizione, and to Venice in 1888 where he remained until his death. Employed his nephew Giovanni Schwarz, Luigi Chiericato, and Ettore Siega. When his son Giulio joined them in 1898, the business became ‘Degani e figlio’. A very gifted craftsman, his instruments display very individual flourishes and a very high standard of finish. The edge channel is narrow but deeply sunk, and rises to a very sharp ridge. The purfling mitres are long, and sometimes the purfling is doubled to five strands of black/white/black/white/black. The pegbox sides are hollowed and brought to a very marked recurve at the lower edge. The volutes are deeply undercut. Often of large model overall, as well as some more conventional imitations of Cremonese makers. Fine orange varnish. Medals won at Paris 1885 and 1900, Bologna 1888, Turin 1884, and Palermo 1892.
