Biography

Alfredo Contino was a Neapolitan violin maker active in the early twentieth century. He identified himself as an apprentice (allievo) of Vincenzo Postiglione, the prominent Neapolitan maker, positioning himself within the established Neapolitan tradition [1]. A violin bearing his label and Naples brand, dated 1916, documents his working period and confirms his Naples workshop [1].
