Aldo Capelli was a violin maker active in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy during the late 20th century. He maintained workshops in at least two locations: Cervia and Cesena, with documented instruments bearing labels from both cities [1][3]. His documented production spans from 1979 to 1988, with labeled examples indicating he signed instruments as "A. Capelli fecit" or "Capelli Aldo fecit" [1][2][3]. The instruments in the Cozio Archive represent a range of sizes, including full-size violins (back length 41.7 cm) and smaller instruments (back length 35.6 cm), suggesting production across multiple instrument categories [1][2][3].
