Giovanni Francesco Pressenda, son of Raphael (q. Raphael), was an instrument maker active in Turin (Taurini). The catalog entries document his production of violins, violas, and cellos spanning from at least 1825 to 1846 [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. His labels consistently identify him as "Joannes Franciscus Pressenda q. Raphael fecit Taurini," confirming both his patronymic descent and his primary working location.
