Navigation etc.

composed 1906 according to Dibble (2010), p. 193. Won first prize in Bologna quartet competition that year (yes, it seems the same exact (1906) competition to which Frank Bridge's E minor quartet no.1 was submitted and receives its nickname.)

A 3rd quartet of 1923 ("Op.70 in B-flat major") may have been composed but lost; its existence was claimed by Aiello (1956), Al Musicista Michele Esposito (as noted in Dibble, 2010, p.193) but it seems never to have been performed or published.
