After 400 years an important historical Tarot deck comes back to life! Tarocchi Fine Dalla Torre of Bologna: Box Sets Fine Dalla Torre of Bologna Newly RePublished, Summer 2018... This is an exceptionally well crafted set presented by Museo dei Tarocchi, which does a Tarot scholar & collector proud. The 78-card deck comes neatly shrink-wrapped and nestled on a cardboard box. The cardstock is sturdy yet softly textured and feels comfortable (tactile) whilst shuffling. It is an important historical deck that scholars have requested for quite some time, so the Tarot Museum aimed to offer an exemplary version.

From April 2014 Morena Poltronieri and Ernesto Fazioli (of Museo dei Tarocchi) began the challenging task of returning this precious Bolognese Tarot of the 17th century back to production. Poltronieri and Fazioli worked on the images digitally, through various color definition phases, both with pastels and by utilizing computer graphics. They defined the contours and colors using professional pastels. The refined images were then set in Photoshop to clean up any smudges caused by time and wear. One of the goals was not to interfere creatively with the look of these cards, but instead to preserve their original freshness, which was so characteristic of the era, while also being a distinctive work. The end result is respectful of the unique designs, contours and colors, while adding a greater definition to the beauty and charm inherent in the original imagery. The missing Queens (Cups and Coins) have been redesigned and processed through Photoshop, referring to the double sided, Court Cards of 18th century, Tarocchino Bolognese, that is part of the permanent collection of the Tarot Museum.
