Beautiful mandolin by Nicola SPOTO dated 1918.
Nicola Spoto has worked in several different workshops. The most important being that of Naples, but he also worked in a workshop near Nizza in France where he worked until the mid-1920s.
Its instruments are located between Vinaccia and Calace. He is not as well known as Stridente or De Meglio, in the same range, but his work is nonetheless of just as good quality.
