These first editions are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their charming period packaging and their role in the renaissance of tarot publishing in Europe.

The 78 oversized cards are illustrated in a style inspired by Giotto’s frescoes, with rich medieval colours, expressive figures, and numerous scenes taken from the Divine Comedy, the Old and New Testaments, and Greco-Roman mythology.
Many cards feature gold and silver ink, enhancing the illuminated-manuscript aesthetic.

🪶 Collector’s Note

This 1983 edition of the Dante Tarot is considered one of the most unique and ambitious tarot art projects ever produced. Because of its limited distribution, fragile oversized box, and cult reputation, very few complete examples survive in excellent condition.

Collectors value this deck for:
- its magnificent Giotto-inspired artwork,
- its literary and historical depth,
- the use of metallic inks,
- and its connection to Dante’s mystical and poetic universe.

Highly recommended for advanced collectors. Copies in this condition rarely appear on the market.

This unusual and highly collectible Tarot was inspired by Paracelsus (1493–1541), the famous Swiss physician, surgeon, philosopher, astrologer, and alchemist of the Renaissance. Considered one of the founders of modern medicine, Paracelsus sought to unite science, nature, and esoteric wisdom.

The imagery of the deck draws inspiration from alchemical traditions and the celebrated illustrations of the Splendor Solis, one of the most beautiful alchemical manuscripts ever produced. The result is a unique Tarot that bridges mystical symbolism, Renaissance philosophy, and hermetic teachings.

Published by the respected Italian publisher Antonio Delfino Editore, this edition has long been out of print and is rarely encountered on the collector's market.

Perfect for collectors of rare Tarots, alchemy enthusiasts, historians of Western esotericism, and lovers of unusual European Tarot decks.

This is a faithful 1978 reproduction of the famous Tarocchino deck originally engraved by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli (1634–1718), one of the most renowned Italian artists and engravers of the 17th century.

The Tarocchino Bolognese was a special form of Tarot used in Bologna, reduced to 62 cards by omitting the 2–5 pip cards in each suit. Mitelli created his satirical and allegorical version between 1663–1669 for the noble Bentivoglio family. Unlike standard tarots, the trumps in this deck do not have names or numbers, adding a mysterious and artistic quality.

🔹Creator: Giuseppe Maria Mitelli (1660s)
🔹Reprint Date: 1978
🔹Publisher: Grafica Gutenberg, Bergamo – Edizione Speciale per la BIASS
🔹Country: Italy
🔹Number of cards: 62
🔹Booklet: Included, in Italian

🪶 Collector’s Note

Mitelli’s Tarocchino is considered one of the most iconic Tarot artworks of the 17th century.
The 1978 BIASS edition is highly collectible and sought after for its authenticity and limited print run—an essential piece for historical tarot enthusiasts.
The deck is a piece of history, merging mythological, moral, and satirical themes, showcasing Mitelli’s unique wit and artistic mastery. The 1978 reprint by Grafica Gutenberg remains one of the rarest and most collectible reproductions of this iconic deck.

This rare and beautiful edition of I Tarocchini is a 1978 facsimile reprint of the historic tarot deck engraved by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli between 1663 and 1669. Produced by Grafica Gutenberg (Italy), the deck reproduces the celebrated Bolognese tarot tradition known as Tarocchino, characterized by its reduced structure of 62 cards.

This edition includes lightly watercolored cards, a booklet in Italian, and a hardcover slipcase-style box with Mitelli’s artwork on the front and back. Each card is a faithful reproduction of the 17th-century originals, showcasing allegorical figures from Renaissance iconography. The trumps follow a unique sequence derived from the Bolognese “Type A” order, with some surprising visual interpretations—such as “Love” portrayed by a blindfolded Cupid holding a flaming heart, or “Strength” as a woman embracing a column.

Mitelli’s deck is more than a historical curiosity; it is a window into the intellectual and artistic sensibilities of Baroque Bologna. This 1978 edition has become a collectible in its own right.
