The luthier Giovanni Paolo (Brescia, 1580-1632) made instruments of beautiful workmanship and wonderful wood. He was apprenticed to Gasparo da Saló, in whose workshops he remained until he was 21 years old. Later, he also built instruments based on models by Girolamo Amati. He finally defined his own style.
