Antoine Di Mauro (1900-1976)
Antoine Di Mauro made mandolins and guitars in Catania, Italy.
He moved to Paris in 1934 and worked crafting his guitars, in the back of a furniture store on Rue Fontarabie.
In 1936, Antoine opened his first workshop.
His wife and three sons—François, the eldest; Nicolas, the middle son; and Joseph, the youngest—joined him in Paris.
In the 1940s, in the workshop "LUTHERIE MODERNE" Then, in 1950, the workshop expanded to 47 Rue de la Réunion.
In 1947, his son Joseph joined him in the family workshop to work alongside his two brothers.

recognizable by its unique S-shaped f-hole design.
