Who was Valentino Siani?
Valentino Siani was an Italian violinmaker who worked in Brescia and Florence.
He was a pupil of Giovanni Paolo Maggini in Brescia before he moved to Florence in c.1620 where he worked c.1620–1670.
Sianis' instruments have a rather full arching, narrow purfling in very nicely channelled edges, and stiff f-holes. His scrolls show the influence of Maggini.
His work is very rarely met in the trade. He is particularly well known for his violas.
A viola by Valentino Siani is pictured in Italian Violinmakers by Walter Hamma.
