Labelled Vittorio Bellarosa - - Violin - Italy - 1950

Beautiful 4/4 viola with an Italian label.
On the label it reads VITTORIO BELLAROSA, Napoli, anno 1950, with an address also listed.
It is probably a superbly finished copy made after the year 2000.
The viola has a finely flamed top plate and a beautifully flamed back plate in one piece. In the finishing, the delicate inlay and the beautiful oil varnish are notable. A beauty to behold.

The measurements are:
Total length. 59.8 cm
Scale length. 32.5 cm
Body length. 35.5 cm
Waist. 11.9 cm
Upper bout. 16.5 cm
Lower bout. 20.7 cm

Violas and bows described as 'certified' or 'attributed' include images of their certificates and therefore carry a higher degree of documented certainty regarding maker, provenance and age than instruments described only as 'labeled' (violins) or 'stamped' (bows), for which we do not provide any warranty.
