- Carlo Ferdinando Landolfi
Carlo Ferdinando Landolfi (c.1710-1784) was a luthier active in Milan, Italy who may have been a pupil of Giovanni Battista Guadagnini, [cite web|url=http://www.bartruff.com/history.php|title=The History of the Violin|first=William|last=Bartruff|accessdate=2006-11-01] although other scholars suggest Landolfi was a pupil of the Testore family of luthiers.
A violin made by Landolfi in 1772 has characteristics typical of the Milanese school of makers by displaying a wide grained table with a brown-orange varnish. An unusual feature of this violin appears on the back where, instead of purfling, there are two lines of ink. Perhaps Landolfi's advanced age prohibited him from the exacting task of installing the purfling, and he resorted to this method.

The National Music Museum houses another of Landolfi's violin in its collection. This violin is dated from 1759.

A Landolfi violin in good condition can range in value from $50,000 to $175,000.
