Enrico Ceruti was a violin maker active in Cremona during the 19th century. The catalog evidence documents his working period spanning at least 1831 to 1863 [2][3][4]. Instruments bearing his label identify him as 'Enricus Ceruti fecit Cremona,' establishing his primary location of manufacture. A related instrument labelled to 'Jo: Baptista Ceruti Cremonensis' [1] suggests possible family connection within the Cremona violin-making tradition, though the relationship remains unspecified in available documentation. Ceruti's instruments exhibit consistent back lengths ranging from 35.4 to 36.2 cm, consistent with standard violin proportions of the period.
