Tarocchino di Mitelli

[edit] Description
You could call this tarot an art-deck version of the classic Bolognese Pattern. Perhaps the first “novelty deck” in tarot history. It was created by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli around 1660-65, for the Bentivoglio a noble family of Bologna. This noble origin could explain its detailed and elegant imagery. As with the standard Tarocco Bolognese none of the cards have their title printed on them but Mitelli also didn’t put any numbering on them what makes putting them in the correct order quite difficult.
