Biographies
John Dilworth
CAMILLI, Camillus Born circa. 1704, died 1754 Mantua Italy. A very refined and prolific maker. Acquired a Cremonese technique from Pietro Guarneri, and possibly another contemporary Mantuan maker, Antonio Zanotti, who may have been a pupil of Girolamo Amati II. His work is an attractive combination of Amati and Guarneri styles with a very neatly wrought head; a consistently charming aspect of his work. His distinctive varnish is a clear orange-red, slightly chippier and harder than Cremonese finishes. Often used quite plain backs in one piece. Soundholes not generally fluted, but otherwise conforms with Cremonese construction principles. Camillo de Camilli / Fece in Mantova, 1734 Camillus Camilli / Fecit Mantuae.1739
