Pietro Anselmo

John Dilworth

ANSELMO (ANSELMI), Pietro Mid-18th century Venice Italy. Obscure maker – the subject of much speculation by Henley and others. Vannes states that he was a pupil of Malvolti, which is more likely than Henley’s belief that he studied in Cremona. Very refined small Amatisé model. Narrow elongated scroll. Rich golden-brown varnish. Cellos singled out for particular regard, but are rarely encountered.

George Hart

The instruments of this maker partake of the Ruggeri character.The varnish is rich in colour and of considerable body. Scarce. I have met with two excellent Violoncellos by this maker. Anselmo is said to have worked also in Venice.

Cecie Stainer

Worked in Cremona (about 1700) and Venice. His violins are made on a small pattern, slightly arched, with golden-coloured varnish of rich quality. His violoncellos are also well made.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff

Er soll zuerst in Cremona gearbeitet haben, was nach dem Stil seiner
Arbeit nicht allzu glaubwürdig erscheint. Er verwendet ein kleines an Ruggeri
erinnerndes Modell von massiger Wölbung, einen schönen goldigen Lack, wenn
auch nicht immer schönes Holz. Arbeiten, die ihm mit Sicherheit zugeschrieben
werden können, sind selten und gewöhnlich aus Venedig datiert. Der Text auf
seinen Zetteln ist italienisch oder lateinisch.
