Vincenzo Postiglione II was an Italian violin maker active in Naples in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was the son and pupil of Vincenzo Postiglione I and received his training within the family workshop, continuing a lutherie tradition rooted in the Neapolitan school. After his father’s death, he carried on the Postiglione atelier in Naples, producing violins, violas, and cellos based on established classical Italian models associated with makers such as Gagliano, Guarneri, Stradivari, and Guadagnini. Instruments bearing his label form part of the documented output of the Postiglione family and are represented in historical records and auction archives of Italian instruments from the period.

Following the death of Vincenzo Postiglione II, the Postiglione workshop passed to his apprentice Alfredo Contino, who had been trained within the atelier. Contino is best known for his highly precise copies after Gagliano family instruments and received a gold medal in Padua in 1932.
