The numerous photographs and technical details of all the instruments displayed on the occasion of the exhibition Andrea Amati Opera Omnia.
Le violons du Roi (Cremona, Civic Museum 29 September - 14 October 2007) represent the main body of this catalogue. This substantial documentation is introduced by equally significant analytical-historical essays regarding the reconstruction of the biographical information on the Cremonese violinmaker (by Carlo Chiesa), theories about the customer and the motto “Quo unico propugnaculo…” of certain instruments (by Renato Meucci), the study of the analogies between Cremonese 16th century painting and the decorated instruments of Andrea Amati (by Marco Tanzi), the results of the scientific investigations carried out on the "Charles IX" group (Mario A. Lazzari and Cuzio Merlo) and the latest considerations on the style of Andrea Amati as regards the physical and construction characteristics of his instruments (Fausto Cacciatori).
The catalogue ends with the comparative tables of the measurements of all the instruments on show.
