Natale Novelli was a Milanese violin maker active in the mid-twentieth century. According to his instrument labels, he identified himself as both apprentice and nephew (allievo e nipote) of Giuseppe Pedrazzini, the prominent Milanese maker [2]. This familial and professional relationship places Novelli within the Pedrazzini workshop tradition. A documented violin by Novelli bears a label dated 1947 [2], establishing his independent making activity in Milano during the post-war period. The precise dates of his birth and death remain unrecorded in available sources.
