In the simple but effective style of De Meglio, this Cesare Arosio mandolin was made in the 1910s.
This mandolin was made according to a patent applied for in 1896, which certainly concerns the additional soundholes on the ribs where the tailpiece is attached, as indicated by the iron mark on the top.
