Renato Superti

Biography

Renato Superti was a violin maker active in Vescovato, Cremona, Italy. Five labeled instruments in the Cozio Archive document his work from 2012-2014, including violins named 'Cannone,' 'Alba,' 'Abram,' 'Silver,' and an unlabeled instrument inscribed with 'Paris' [1][2][3][4][5]. The instruments bear consistent maker's labels reading 'fatto in Vescovato Cremona' (made in Vescovato, Cremona), with most examples signed 'R. Superti' [1][2][3][4]. Superti's documented instruments exhibit consistent construction specifications. The five cataloged examples share nearly identical back lengths of 35.3-35.6 cm and comparable bout measurements, suggesting a standardized approach to violin construction [1][2][3][4][5]. The instruments feature maple backs with quarter-cut flame, spruce tops with narrow grain, and reddish orange-brown varnish, as documented in the 'Cannone' example [1]. Beyond these archival records, no additional biographical information is available from the source material.
