The mandolin appears to have descended from the medieval gittern in Italy, where it took two forms. One was the Milanese or Lombardian mandolin ... with six double courses of strings tuned in thirds and fourths.

The Milanese mandolin fell into disuse into in the late nineteenth century, and the Neapolitan mandolin ultimately prevailed.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - Milanese%20mandolin
