Biographies
John Dilworth
VENTAPANE, Lorenzo Born 1780, Worked Calata Borgo di Loreto, died 1843 Naples Italy. Nephew of Vincenzo Ventapane, below. Presumed pupil of Giovanni or Nicolo (II) Gagliano. Established in Calata Borgo di Loreto and from 1800 at 35 Strada Donnaregina, Naples. Work in the late Gagliano style. Good designs but unrefined workmanship. Arching of medium height, full to the edges. Fairly hard glossy golden or yellow-brown varnish. Beech purfling set in broad flat edges, the corners also broad but not cleanly formed. Soundholes quite widely set, but of good Stradivari form with small finial circles and broad but crudely fluted lower wings. Scrolls very quickly cut; usually quite crude. Materials generally of basic quality. Cellos particularly prized as well-proportioned and effective instruments. Scrolls have distinctively large and protruding eyes. Double basses and various plucked instruments also recorded. Lorenzo Ventapane / Fabbricante di strumenti armonici / Strada Donnaregina 35 / Napoli 18.. Lorenzo Ventapane / Strada Donnaregina No. 35 Napoli 1809 Lorenzo Ventapane / Fabbricante di Strumenti da Corde / Abita Calata Borgo di Loreto No 23
