Vincenzo Trusiano Panormo (1734–1813) was an Italian luthier of English violins. Panarmo is thought to have been born in Palermo, Sicily (Panormo is the Latin version of Palermo). He studied violin making in Naples with the Gagliano family of luthiers. From 1753 to 1789, Panormo worked in Paris as a violin craftsman. At the start of the French Revolution, he moved to Dublin, where he worked with Thomas Perry, and then to London where he crafted instruments until his death in 1813. Panormo's violins are considered English with influences by Stradavarius and Amati. Historians note Panormo as one of the finest English violin makers.
