Guarneri - Guarneri (English spelling)

A family of Italian violin makers. The founder was Andrea G. (c. 1626-98), who was born in Cremona and studied under Nicola Amati there. For generations, the family had a workshop in Cremona. Of Andrea's sons, Pietro Giovanni G. (1655-1720) worked at the court of Mantua, and his younger brother Giuseppe Giovanni Battista G. (c. 1666-1740) took over his father's workshop. Of the latter's sons, Pietro G. (1695-1762) was active in Venice, and his younger brother Giuseppe G. (1698-1744) became the family's greatest violin maker. Giuseppe's instruments, known as "del Gesu", are considered to be on a par with those of Stradivari and were used by Paganini as well as many of the great violinists of the 20th century, whose instruments were labelled with the name Guarnerius.
