Luiz Amorim is a craftsman from humble origins. Luiz built everything from bee boxes to his own house. Luiz fell in love with Betina, also an artist. Their first child wanted to study music so they got to know the cello. So they started to make instruments from the violin family. While mastering the art, they had two more children, who also got involved in liuteria. In the course of time, renowned musicians from São Paulo's Orchestra appeared at the studio. They all ordered instruments. Eventually, the family decided to move to the birthplace of the violin. Now, the Amorims live and work in Cremona, Italy, ranking among the most important studios in the world, creating beautiful instruments as they shape themselves as a beautiful family.
