!!!Albani Albanus, Matthias

b. St. Nikolaus near Kaltern (South Tyrol) March 28, 1621, 
d. Bozen/Bolzano (South Tyrol) Feb. 7, 1712, violin-maker. Widely 
acknowledged for his skilled work, 1640-1690 numerous fakes were 
detected. His technique had little in common with that of  Stainer and 
can more likely be traced to the Italian art of violin making. 
Influenced the art of violin-making in Germany and the Tyrol in the 
18th century. Albani´s sons Michael (1677-1730) and Joseph 
(1680-1722) also became violin-makers.
