Amati - Amati (English spelling)

A family of violin makers active in Cremona, Italy. The founder of the family, Andrea (1505/1510-1577/1580), created the modern violin model, and through his sons Antonio and Girolamo, Girolamo's son Nicola Amati (1596-1684) created the perfect artistic violin. Nicola unified the strengths of his fathers' works and produced many famous instruments known as "Great Amati", which were small but well-balanced and had expressive tones. His pupils included the great master A. Stradivari and many others, such as A. Guarneri, who formed the Cremona school, and whose influence extended to Milan, Naples, Bologna, Venice, and other cities. The Amati family ended with Nicola's son Girolamo.

イタリアのクレモナで活躍したバイオリン製作者の一族。一族の祖アンドレアAndrea(1505/1510―1577/1580)によって今日のバイオリンの型がつくりだされ、その子アントニオ、ジロラモ兄弟を経て、ジロラモの子ニコラ・アマーティNicola Amati(1596―1684)によって、完全に芸術的なバイオリンが生み出された。ニコラは父祖の作品の長所を統一し、小形だが均整のとれた表情豊かな音色をもつ「大アマーティ」として知られる名器を多数製作した。弟子には巨匠A・ストラディバリをはじめ、A・グアルネリなど多数がおり、クレモナ派を形成し、その影響はミラノ、ナポリ、ボローニャ、ベネチアなどに及んだ。アマーティ家はニコラの子ジロラモをもって終わった。
