Italian Instrument Maker

[Lance Gucwa]

I recently acquired a Giovanni Leoni bass made in Parma, Italy. The only information I found on the internet was from a list of European luthiers which only said he "made good instruments". I'm curious to learn more about Giovanni Leoni.

I'm hoping that someone here may have more information about this luthier, perhaps from your luthier literature or personal experience.

Any information would be appreciated.
