Antoine Di Mauro was born in Catania in 1900, brother of Joseph Di Mauro "senior" (1893-1966), and father of Joseph Di Mauro "junior" (1932-2001). Before arriving in Paris in 1934, he was already making guitars and mandolins in Catania. Once in Paris, he continued his activity as a luthier, settling in the back of a furniture store in the 20th arrondissement. A few years later, in 1936, he opened his first workshop at Impasse Rançon. Then, after a move in 1942, he settled at 47 Rue de la Réunion in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, in his famous workshop bearing the sign: "LUTHERIE MODERNE". In particular, Selmer Maccaferri jazz guitar models such as Saint Louis Blues, Boogie-Woogie and Spécial Chorus created by Antoine Di Mauro.
