Antonio Mariani

Violin from Antonio Mariani from 1670 (left)

Antonio Mariani was a Italian luthier in the 17th century. He is believed to have studied in Brescia under Giovanni Paolo Maggini, and was later mostly active in Pesaro from 1635 to 1695.[1]

A simple design and plain materials such as pine are typical for his violins, which are renowned for their excellent tone.[2][3]

His violins have amongst others been played by the violists Lionel Tertis and Barbara Buntrock.[4]
