Enrico Ceruti (1806–1883) was an Italian violin maker born in Cremona, known as the last of the great line of violinmakers of Cremona.
He was the son of Giuseppe Ceruti and grandson to Giovanni Battista Ceruti.
He was also an active dealer of fine old instruments dealing with Luigi Tarisio and Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume among others.
Being 3rd generation violin maker, he learned his trade from his father Giuseppe, and was a double bass player as well, like his father.
Left the family home in 1826, and records show that by 1830 was registered as a violin maker, although few instruments from before 1840 survive.
Experts speculate that it is conceivable that Enrico was working with his father during the period of 1840s-1850s and it would explain the extreme rarity of instruments made by Giuseppe dating from that period.
At a time when best European makers were imitating Stradivari and Guarneri del Gesu, Enrico followed a different path. Enrico's work shows that he drew much of his inspiration from the Bergonzis.
Enrico exhibited his instruments in various European cities, but his work does not seem to have been greatly appreciated outside Italy. As a result, he had not attained any great wealth.
His students include Gaetano Antoniazzi.
