The Amati family of violin makers worked in Cremona in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, establishing the renowned “Cremoneser School”. The best known member was Niccolo Amati (1596-1684), the teacher of Guarneri and Stradivari. The Amatis created a type of violin that is still effective today.Naming citation (20010509/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
