Francesco Rugeri (b. c. 1628 – d. October 28, 1698) is also known as Rugier, Ruger, Rugeri, Ruggeri, Ruggerius, and Ruggieri. He was the first who belonged to Casa Rugeri an important family of luthiers in Cremona, Italy. He constructed his instrument with mastery which is inspired by the “Grand Amati” pattern of Nicolò Amati. That is why his instruments are nearly as well-known as the instruments of Nicolò Amati today.
