1was his junior by thirteen years. They had nine children, of whom only one followed the father's calling. Among the pupils who resided in the house of Nicolas Amati, as is evidenced by extracts from the parish records, may be mentioned, in 1641 Andrea Guarnieri, fifteen years old. Five years afterwards, Andrea Guarnieri is not mentioned. Then, in 1653 he reappears, and is described as being then married, and next year disappears for good from the house of his master.
3Amati, Hieronymus, Cremona. Born 26th February, 1649, died 21st February, 1740. This was the only member of Nicholas Amati's family who followed the father's calling.

5Ambrosi, P., Brescia, Rome, 1730. Reputedly somewhat common work.
7Anselmo, P., Cremona and Venice, 1701. Very little known about him. Described as good work.
