The son of Serafino Casini, Lapo studied with his father as well as Ferdinando Del Perugia. He worked primarily in the style of the 18th. century Florentine makers and won a number of awards for his instruments. He was also known for his skill in violin restoration and his research in the varnish of the old Italian masters and published a book on his findings in 1954.
The violin has that great Italian sound, strong with a wonderful singing quality.
