Biographies
John Dilworth
MARCHETTI, Enrico Born 1855 Milan, died 1930 Turin Italy. Regarded as the best Turin maker of the 20th century. Trained with L. Bajoni and G. Rossi in Milan, worked in Turin from c.1874, initially with B. Giofffredo (Rinaldi) and subsequently with A. Guadagnini. A prize awarded to Guadagnini in the year of his death, 1881 was later disputed by Marchetti, who had made the instrument on Guadagnini’s behalf. Established independently in that year at 10 Piazza Vittorio Emanuele I. Awards at many exhibitions: Turin 1884, Antwerp and Paris 1885, Paris 1886, and Toulouse 1887. Resident in Cuorgné 1893-1912, during which time he exhibited in Milan 1894 and Turin 1898. Assisted by his son Vittorio, below, R. Marengo, and A. Curletto. Fine copies of classical works, specialising in Pressenda and the Neapolitan school. Early work on a long pattern Stradivari model, later made copies of more obscure makers, often using false labels. Good materials and good transparent yellow varnish. Some examples branded ‘E.M.’ on lower rib, or internally ‘E. Marchetti Torino’.
