Tarocchi by A. Picini (1979) – Modernist Italian Art Tarot

A striking and rare contemporary Italian tarot deck designed by A. Picini and published in 1979 by Galleria d’Arte L’Antenna (Bergamo, Italy).
Printed by Grafica Comense (Como) in collaboration with Dino Tettamanti, this deck captures the avant-garde spirit of late-1970s Italian art, where numerology, geometry, and surrealism meet.

🪶 Collector’s Note

Picini’s Tarocchi is a visual manifesto of Italian design modernism — vibrant, cerebral, and deeply symbolic.
Its synthesis of numbers, colors, and figures evokes the experimental language of Arte Povera and conceptual art.
Printed in limited quantity and distributed mainly through art galleries, this edition remains a cult collector’s piece, rarely seen outside Italy.
