          The two piece back of this instrument is made of maple, and the same wood has been used to produce both the sides and the headstock, with inserted neck. The two piece soundboard is of spruce, as usual. The white strips of the purfling are beech, while the black ones are made of an unidentified material. Gennaro is a leading member of the Neapolitan family of violin makers called Gagliano. Having commenced business in the early 18th century with Alessandro (1660 - before 1735), the Gagliano family’s activity in this instrumental sector continued in Naples until the latter half of the 1800s through the commitment of many other family members, precisely Nicola I (1695 - after 1758), Ferdinando (1724 circa - 1781), Giuseppe (known since 1770 to 1800), Antonio I (1728 - 1795 circa), Giovanni I (1740 circa - 1806), Antonio II (after 1790 - 1860) and Raffaele (1790 circa - 1857).

          Gennaro Gagliano: A Legacy of Cremonese Brilliance

          Gennaro Gagliano (1705 – Living) stands as a cornerstone in the history of Neapolitan violin making, representing the zenith of his family’s artistic tradition and embodying the spirit of Cremonese craftsmanship. Born in Naples, Italy, he descended from Alessandro Gagliano, establishing a lineage that would produce instruments celebrated for their elegance, resonance, and unwavering fidelity to the masters of Cremona – notably Amati and Stradivari. His contribution cemented Naples' reputation as a global epicenter of violin artistry, shaping musical history for centuries to come.
          • Early Life & Training: Little is known about Gennaro’s formative years beyond his familial connection to Alessandro Gagliano.

He skillfully blended classical tradition with innovative approaches, resulting in instruments possessing exceptional tonal qualities.

He absorbed their innovations, adapting them to his own distinctive style while upholding the highest standards of craftsmanship. His instruments continue to inspire musicians worldwide, serving as embodiments of Neapolitan violin tradition and representing a pinnacle of Renaissance violin artistry.
