Armando Di Lelio was a violin maker active in Rome during the late twentieth century. He signed his instruments with a maker's label bearing the inscription 'Armando di Lelio, fece in Roma anno 1983,' and also marked his work by signing the inside back and top as well as branding the lower ribs with 'Armando Roma Di Lelio' [1]. The three documented instruments in the Tarisio archive span a narrow range of back lengths (35.5–35.7 cm), consistent with standard violin proportions [1][2][3]. All three examples bear original signed labels and are recorded in near mint to mint condition, suggesting instruments of consistent quality and careful preservation [1][2][3].
