Notable Sales: Francesco Goffriller
Born in Venice in 1691, Francesco was the son and pupil of Matteo Goffriller. He soon left the family workshop, however, moving to Udine in 1714, at the age of 23. His work is looser than that of his father, with elongated soundholes and a small volute on a slender pegbox. He died around 1740, probably at much the same time as his father, who died in 1742.
