Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) of Cremona is considered the master of all violin makers, and he was revered already during his lifetime. His instruments show a round stamp with a cross and the insignia AS. They became the standard to which following generations of violin makers aspired.Naming citation (20010509/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
