Nicola Amati, Nicolò Amati or Nicolao Amati (/əˈmɑːti/, Italian:[niˈkɔːlaaˈmaːti,nikoˈlɔ-,nikoˈlaːo-]; 3 September 1596 – 12 April 1684) was an Italian master luthier from Cremona, Italy. Amati is one of the most well-known luthiers from the Casa Amati (House of Amati). He was the teacher of illustrious Cremonese School luthiers such as Andrea Guarneri and Giovanni Battista Rogeri.[2] While no clear documentation exists for their being apprentices in his shop, Amati may also have apprenticed Antonio Stradivari, Francesco Rugeri, and Jacob Stainer, as their work is heavily influenced by Amati.[3]
