Il Tarocco Mitologico — The Mythological Tarot
A rare collector's deck designed by Italian artist Amerigo Folchi and writer Andrea Gamboni , published by Italcards in 1988.
Il Tarocco Mitologico combines ancient myths, philosophy, and the beauty of Italian art, transforming each card into a living canvas where gods and heroes speak the language of symbols.
The deck immerses you in the mythological world of Ancient Greece, where Artemis and Dionysus, Aphrodite and Hercules become archetypes of the human soul.
Each card is filled with refined eroticism, classical harmony, and a touch of irony from the artist, who conveys eternal themes through a modern lens.
