Vintage Italian Fortune-Telling Deck – Tarocco Indovino by Dal Negro
A complete vintage cartomancy deck from Italy, titled Tarocco Indovino, produced by Dal Negro and illustrated by Sergio Ruffolo. This 78-card set blends the worlds of Tarot and Italian folk divination: each card features symbolic imagery paired with dual keywords (e.g. Lealtà / Seduzione, Perdita / Comodo), designed for fortune-telling and storytelling.
Not Tarot, not quite playing cards — but something in between. The hand-drawn illustrations are vivid and theatrical, evoking Renaissance figures in playful dialogue with archetypal symbols.
The deck comes housed in its original glossy brown case, accompanied by the small Italian instruction booklet (Note Esplicative). The hand-drawn illustrations are vivid and theatrical, evoking Renaissance figures in playful dialogue with archetypal symbols.
A beautiful collectible for those interested in divination, design history, or Italian graphic traditions — part tool, part artwork, part fragment of cultural memory.
Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Cards show only light handling wear. Box intact with some minor surface marks. Booklet included.
Dimensions: Case 16 × 9 cm, standard card size.
