1CASTAGNERI, Andrea, Paris, about 1735. This Italian maker appears to have settled in Paris. I have seen a Violin by Castagneri, date 1735; flat model, bold outline, and varnish of good quality.
3CASTELLANI, Pietro, Florence, died about 1820.
4CASTELLANI, Luigi, Florence, died 1884.
6CASTRO, Venice, 1680-1720. The wood is of good figure generally. The outline is defective; the middle bouts are too long to be proportionate. Sound-hole roughly worked. Varnish red, the quality of which is scarcely up to the Venetian standard.
8CATENAR, Enrico, Turin, about 1671.
10Henricus Catenar, fecit Taurini anno 167—
12CELIONIATI, Gian Francesco, Turin, about 1734. Appears to have copied the form of Amati. Yellow varnish, good workmanship.
14CERIN, Marco Antonio, Venice, end of the eighteenth century. Signed himself as a pupil of Belosio.
16Marcus Antonius Cerin, alumnus Anselmi Belosii, fecit Venetiae, 17—
18CERUTI, Giovanni Battista, Cremona, 1755—
