I have seen this noted on the littlegun.be site with no citation.
Looking into the Encyclopedia Bresciana, Sperandio Mutti is listed as an arms maker working in Gardone Val Trompia in 1848. There is mention of a Sperandio Mutti in 1630, but nothing about being involved with gun making.

He is also mentioned in "Repertorio storico degli Archibugiari italiani dal XIV al XX secolo" by Barbiroli Bruno where it is stated that he ran one of the 14 gun making factories in Gardone in 1845. He was active from at least 1810-1857.
edit: There is a Sperandio Mutti mentioned that from 1684-1704 owned an arms building shop that supplied to Venice in "Repertorio storico degli Archibugiari italiani dal XIV al XX secolo"
