Carbone, Giuseppe [a]

Born in Colliano (prov. Salerno); He had a small workshop in Bisigliano [SW of Colliano]; Though a namesake, he is not a relative of the brothers Giuseppe [b] ("Peppino") and Rocco (In small isolated rural communities non-related people often share the same family name); The types of wood he used were predominantly those found in the area (maple [Acer], olive [Olea europaea], wild pear [Pyrus pyraster] and almond [Prunus mygdales]); According to Gala ,"his activity was not intense, because orders were scarce and there was a lot of competition in the same area, perhaps disproportionate to the current [i.e. ca. 2005; ws] sharp decline in demand".
