It was made by Matteo Cecchi, called Acquafresca (1651-1738) ca. 1690, the most gifted member of the famed Acquafresca family of gunmakers.The Acquafresca family resided and worked in the mountain village of Bargi, located in the Tosco-Emilian Apennines between Florence and Bologna, over two-hundred kilometers from Brescia, where many of Italys most talented gunmakers concentrated for over two centuries. Despite their remote location, the Acquafresca gained the patronage of wealthy aristocratic families and the Medici court in Florence, earning reputations as the finest gunmakers in Italy.
