The booklet is divided into four sections: an introductory part, followed by a n overview of the Life of the Artist and the works presented in the exhibition. Finally, the last section focuses on the theme of Imagined Encounters, Possible Encounters.

So the protagonist is Lotto (1480 – 1556/1557) and the Imagined Encounters, Possible Encounters are those with the masters, almost of the same age, of sixteenth-century Brescia such as Savoldo (circa 1480 – post 1548), Romanino (circa 1484 – 1566) and Moretto (circa 1492-1495 – 1554).
