About Anselmo Bellosio:
Anselmo Bellosio was born into a family of organ makers in 1743 and moved to Venice around 1763. He began his career as a violin maker shortly before 1770, likely working in the workshop of Giorgio Serafin. He took over Serafin’s workshop in 1777. This particular violin is dated 1768, making it one of his earliest creations, which exhibits a more ‘rustic’ character in its workmanship while already producing a rich, deep sound.
Bellosio’s work is known for its fine craftsmanship. Charles Beare notes that the great 18th-century Venetian violin-making school ended with Bellosio’s death from pneumonia at 50. His most notable pupil was Marco Antonio Cerin. Bellosio’s best instruments closely resemble those of his master.
