Pietro Antonio Della Costa
Treviso, Venice, worked 1740–1770
Although working in nearby Treviso, is classified as a maker of the Venetian school. Work is neat and charming in the Amati manner, although a little weaker than the finest Venetian makers of the period. Varnish relatively thin-textured. — John Dilworth
