The original woodcuts have been replaced with engravings by Giovanni Battista Fontana (1524–1587), and Giulio Fontana (d. 1569). Giulio Fontana added a new preface to the 1568 edition dedicated to Don Giovanni Manriche, Camerieri di S. M. Cesarea, probably referring to Juan Manrique, chamberlain to Elizabeth Valois (1545–1568), queen of Spain. Fontana goes on to mention his illustrations for another fencing book, Camillo Agrippa's Trattato di Scienza d'Arme, published two weeks before Marozzo's Arte dell'Armi, which he had also dedicated to Don Giovanni Manriche.
