介绍（中）	Acquafresca是有史以来最有才华的意大利枪支制造商之一。他对浮雕和雕刻钢的掌握是无与伦比的。虽然他在博洛尼亚附近的巴尔吉（Bargi）偏僻的小村庄工作，但他对国际枪支时尚了如指掌，包括在巴黎出版的枪支制造商图案书籍。他有一个成熟的客户，其中包括佛罗伦萨执政的美第奇家族。这些手枪是Acquafresca保存最完好，最具原创性的作品之一。黑色乌木枪托与明亮的钢制支架和银丝镶嵌形成鲜明对比。凿刻的钢牌匾上的面向男性和女性的头部镶嵌在枪管后面的握把中，也许暗示了枪械制造商的贵族赞助人。每把手枪上的银线装饰明显不同。橡木桶上醒目地刻有Acquafresca的名字。
介绍（英）	Acquafresca was one of the most talented Italian gunmakers of all time. His mastery of relief-chiseled and engraved steel was unsurpassed. Although he worked in the isolated hamlet of Bargi, near Bologna, he was well aware of international firearms fashion, including gunmakers' pattern books published in Paris. He had a sophisticated clientele, among them the ruling Medici family of Florence. These pistols are among Acquafresca's best preserved and most original works. The black ebony stocks contrast with the bright steel mounts and silver wire inlay. The facing male and female heads on chiseled steel plaques set into the grips, behind the barrel, perhaps allude to the gunmaker's noble patrons. The silver wire ornament on each pistol is distinctly different. The barrels are inscribed prominently with Acquafresca's name.
