  • In the document, which lists the citizens of vicinia "Mazor Porta Pertuso" that can bear arms for the defense of the city, Bonetti, followed by others, has shown evidence that the Andrea and Giovanni Antonio mentioned were the two brothers Amati and, therefore, Giovanni Liunardo was their master of violin making. But the term "fameij" (familiars) is etymologically far removed from that of apprentices or journeymen in the shop. In addition, it has never been proven that Andrea Amati had a brother named Giovanni Antonio and, finally, the two names were so common at the time by not being able completely to connect the two boys at the two possible brothers Amati.
