Ferdinando Gagliano
Ferdinando Gagliano
(fl c1770–c1795) was a son of Nicola Gagliano (i), but is more likely to have been a pupil of his uncle, Gennaro Gagliano. His instruments vary in the quality of their finish, but their outlines have the pleasing flow of typical Gennaro models, with slightly stiffer, more open soundholes. The varnish can be very good looking, but is less striking than that on his father's or uncle's instruments.
