Erminio Farina
Milan, 1885–1917
Pupil and successor of Riccardo Antoniazzi. Worked for the Monzino company in Milan. Seems to have often provided his distinctive scroll (a neatly concentric design with a very tapered broad front face and even softened broad chamfer) to instruments with the Antoniazzi label. — John Dilworth
