NICOLÒ GAGLIANO
Maistorovici plays on and is the current custodian of the Rațiu Family Charitable Foundation 1751 Nicolò Gagliano violin.
Among the great makers of the Neapolitan tradition, Nicolò Gagliano (c. 1710 – 1785), son of Alessandro, stands out for his consistently high standards of craftsmanship and sound quality. His instruments are among the most highly sought-after of the Gagliano family. One of the most talented in a family lineage of violin makers spanning two centuries (c. 1665-1886), Nicolò followed in the footsteps of Stradivari for the most part, as did later generations of the family, though he in particular sometimes used Amati models.
