Vincenzo Sannino was a Neapolitan violin maker active in the early 20th century. Multiple labeled instruments document his work in Naples between 1900 and 1905 [2][3][4]. His violins exhibit consistent proportions, with back lengths ranging from 35.3 to 35.8 cm across documented examples [2][3][4]. At least one instrument bearing a Sannino label also carries an earlier Neapolitan attribution to Lorenzo Ventapane (1823), suggesting either relabeling or the instrument's subsequent ownership [2]. The survival of multiple labeled examples in institutional and private collections indicates a productive workshop output during this period.
