(Pellizon) Antonio (I) Pelizon

Gasbria, Goriza, Gorizia, 1763–1850

Presumably the son of Francesco Pelizon, below. Impetuous work, not dissimilar to Landolfi. Arching of medium height but rather box-like. Outline quite square, with projecting prominent corners. Extremely long stiff soundholes, widely set. — John Dilworth

John Dilworth+

PELIZON (PELLIZON), Antonio (I) Born 1763 Gabria, died 1850 Gorizia Italy. Presumably the son of Francesco Pelizon, below. Impetuous work, not dissimilar to Landolfi. Arching of medium height but rather box-like. Outline quite square, with projecting prominent corners. Extremely long stiff soundholes, widely set. Broad purfling, quite clumsy mitres in deeply cut edge flute. Scroll very broad across the eyes but neatly turned and concentric, the second turn quite wide. Deep throat to pegbox. Mostly golden-yellow varnish of good but hard consistency, some with darker thinner red coating. Mostly plain materials. Some instruments with carved lion heads replacing the scroll. Thought to be the teacher of G. Dollenz. Antonio Pelizon / Fecit Gorizia, 1825

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Ein tüchtiger Geigenmacher, dessen Violinen, Violoncelli und Bässe jetzt
sehr gesucht sind. Seine Arbeit geht auf die Amati-Schule zurück, hat aber
Manches, was sie eigenartig erscheinen lässt. Er hatte vier Söhne, die gleichfalls
Geigenmacher wurden und fast alle gleich ihm ein hohes Alter erreichten.
Eine gute Violine von ihm kaufte Cav. Gaudenzio Tosi in Scariano bei Savogna
um 300 fl. Geigenmacher Ferenczy in Wien besitzt ein Violino von ihm aus
dem Jahre 1823.
