Solleone Tarot
Limited edition
The Tarocchino Lombardo is Master cardmaker Vito Arienti's splendid 1981 reproduction of Carlo Dellarocca's 1835 Tarot deck, also known as the Soprafino (super fine). A trendsetter in its time in the first half of the 19th century, it set the standard for later Italian Tarot decks much like the Waite-smith deck revolutionized the 20th century Tarot tradition.
This numbered limited edition from Il Solleone of Italy, is high quality printing on nice card stock with a matte surface. A very small line of "Arrienti Solleone" is printed on 3 Trump cards, 3 Aces and also some Court Cards. Re di Bastoni also has Arienti Solleone Carte above the card title - this card also shows a small script of "C. Dellarocca" just below the Cross shield.
Trump characters are finely detailed, full color and have expressive, determined faces, with typical nudity. Gorgeously costumed Court characters of Fante, Cavalier, Regina & Re are traditionally arrayed. Suits are Coppe, Bastoni, Danari & Spade, showing pip symbols with occasional neoclassical floral ornaments or banners.
