Directed by the duo M/M, whose graphic work literally invites the reader to face Arcimboldo, the book combines essays by Chiara Parisi and Anne Horvath, co-curators of the exhibition, with those of two Mannerism specialists, Patricia Falguières and Antonio Pinelli. It also invites Yasha David to discuss his collaboration with Pontus Hultén during the historic exhibition conceived in 1987 at the Palazzo Grassi, The Arcimboldo Effect. Donatien Grau composes a commented chronology from Arcimboldo's time to the present day and Maurizio Cattelan a manifesto by way of conclusion.

Roland Barthes' legendary essay, "Arcimboldo, Rhetorician and Magician" (1978), is, exceptionally, republished in its entirety in the catalogue.
