    I'm not familiar with Domenica Ventazola, but this looks consistent with the late 19th-c. style popularized by de Meglio and Ceccherini, especially the former. Is the clasp "vented;" i.e. are there extra tone ports/holes around the side?

    I also am not familiar with this maker but I have seen Ceccherinis and Meglios with a similar pickguard that goes around the soundhole.
