Amore must refer to the maker, because this is clearly not a viola D'amore. It is just a run of the mill viola of the VIOLIN family. Not the viola d'amore from the VIOL family, with sympathetic strings.
too bad my 17 inch viola can completley obliterate that hahah..... and i dont know why its called d'amore but if you were looking for a viola, the sound should be the only factor. the C was too deep for a 16-15 (?) inch and would not be able to be sustained in an orchestra. Tarnish dampens the sound so dont be fooled by "pretty flamed instruments" all bs. Focus on sound. plus thats not a d'amore...... i want one so bad hahahha
It would be a great sounding instrument if you put some pirastro Evah Pirazzi Strings on it. Right now it has potential, but those dominants make it sound scratchy, metallic and generally unpleasant. The Pirazzi's would give it the mellow sounds that would really bring out the tone
This is not a Viola d'Amore ! This a common viola !

Err... is it just me, or was the open C a shade flat?

i think "amore" is the name of the model , he's not refering to a Viola D'Amore.
