Giuseppe [Joseph] Gagliano
Giuseppe [Joseph] Gagliano
(fl c1770–c1800) was certainly a pupil of his father and his early work suggests he was an excellent maker. His work declined over the years, however, and instruments made in partnership with his brother Antonio are not as good as those he made alone. Antonio Gagliano (i) (fl c1780–c1800) was inferior to his brother Giuseppe in his workmanship. Instruments bearing his signature inside often have labels showing them to have been made in partnership with Giuseppe.
