Aldo Pagliacci was an Italian violin maker active in Roma and Ischia during the 1980s. The documented instruments span from 1984 to 1987, with the majority of known examples produced in Roma [2][3][4]. His instruments are identified by sequential numbering on internal labels, with recorded examples ranging from No. 78 through No. 103 [1][2][3][4]. The consistent back length measurements across his output—ranging from 35.4 to 35.7 cm—suggest a standardized approach to proportional design typical of mid-20th-century Italian makers [1][2][3][4]. At least one instrument bears a signature to the inside back, confirming the maker's practice of internal identification [2].
