Biographies
John Dilworth
VENTAPANE, Pasquale Born 1830, died 1890 Naples Italy. Son or possibly brother of Lorenzo Ventapane, above. According to his labels he was a pupil of Antonio Gagliano. Established independently at 23 via Speranzella, Naples. Fairly coarse work, generally inferior to those of Lorenzo, with extended soundholes sometimes located very close to the edges and lower wings unfluted. Flat narrow edges to the plates. Crudely formed scrolls; the cellos in particular have very prominent eyes. Varnish similar to Lorenzo in texture. Hard pale brown or more often yellow shades. Ventapane Pasquale / Fabricante di violini e violoncelli / via Speranzella No. 23 Napoli
