Giovanni Bellosio
Venice, 1781–1821
Son of Anselmo Bellosio, above. No labelled instruments of his are known, but recorded in the archives as a luthier, presumably a pupil of Novello, following his father’s death when he was still only eleven years old. Established in business as a string maker in 1804. [Pio] — John Dilworth

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+
Angeblich ein Schüler von Montagnana. Es gelang mir jedoch nicht,
irgend eine glaubwürdige Arbeit von ihm zu erfragen; auch der Zettel mit
seinem Namen, den ich zu sehen bekam, war eine durch Steindruck hergestellte
Fälschung. Auffällig ist ferner, dass die im Handel vorkommenden , ihm zugeschriebenen
Geigen fast immer die Jahreszahl 1735 tragen.
