Description
Cesare Candi (1869 – 1947) was the leading Genoese violin maker of his time and is noted to have assumed curatorship of Paganini’s 1743 Cannon ‘del Gesù’. Alongside his brother, Candi received training from famed maker Raffaele Fiorini. Both brothers devoted much of their time to crafting plucked instruments, but in 1892, Candi established a violin making workshop. His works show an unusual use of guitar making technique: violin linings cut from a single piece of wood.
