Giuseppe Tarasconi
Violin maker
(1851 – c. 1920)
Before he moved to Milan in 1888 to study with Gaetano Rossi, Giuseppe Tarasconi probably made violins as a hobby. Following his studies with Rossi, Tarasconi opened his own shop in Milan, where he mostly handled repairs and sales. Tarasconi's business dealings fostered a relationship with the Bisiach workshop, where his son Mirco refined his skills. As a result of his early independence as a maker, Tarasconi's work is stylistically individual, with wide and shallow channeling, elongated f-holes and an appealing orange-brown varnish
