Son of Pietro Castellani, b. 1809 ; d. 1884. Worked in Florence in the Via Calimaruzza. He was a clever restorer of old violins, but did not make new ones; he made excellent strings, however, and guitars of fine tone. He studied music in his youth and became a good player on the double-bass. Obtained a silver medal of first class in 1877.
