Minchiate Al Cigno Tarot | Lo Scarabeo Anima Antiqua Limited Edition

Hold history in your hands. The Minchiate Al Cigno Tarot is a premium reproduction of one of the rarest and most historically significant decks in the tarot tradition — a faithful recreation of the original deck produced by the manufacturer Al Cigno around 1775 in Bologna, Italy, created for the Florentine game of Minchiate.

About Minchiate:

Minchiate is an expanded form of tarot originating in Renaissance Florence, featuring 97 cards — far more than a standard tarot deck — including all the traditional Major and Minor Arcana plus additional cards representing the zodiac signs, the four elements, and the cardinal virtues. It is one of the oldest and most elaborate card games in European history, and decks of this age and quality are extraordinarily rare.
