Solleone Tarot – Elisabetta Cassari – 1983 – Edizioni del Solleone – Rare Italian Art Tarot

The Solleone Tarot is a landmark in contemporary tarot art, created by Elisabetta Cassari and published in 1983 by Edizioni del Solleone under the direction of Vito Arienti. This deck marks a turning point in Italian tarot history, combining medieval-inspired figures with a bold, modern artistic vision.

The artwork is extraordinary—vivid, expressive, and reminiscent of great masters like El Greco, Giotto, or Botticelli if they were painting in the late 20th century. Rather than simply reproducing traditional tarot symbols, Cassari reinvents them, creating an integrated visual world that mirrors our own and tells stories with striking intensity.

With 78 large-format cards (8.2 × 14.9 cm), the Solleone Tarot was designed to deliver immediate, powerful impressions, followed by deeper contemplation. It stands out as one of the most innovative and collectible Italian tarots of the 1980s, a true “storyteller’s gold mine.”
