Tarocco Piemontese. (part 1). The Tarocco Piemontese, also known as the Piedmontese Tarot, is a 78-card tarot deck originating from the Piedmont region of northern Italy, featuring Italian-suited minor arcana and 22 trumps with distinctive iconography, primarily used for traditional tarot card games rather than divination. This deck evolved in the early 19th century in Turin, building on earlier 18th-century influences from French tarot styles, such as the Tarot de Marseille, which Piedmontese cardmakers gradually adapted by incorporating local Italian elements and eliminating French inscriptions by the mid-19th century. The structure consists of four suits—cups, swords, coins, and batons—each with 14 cards (ace through 10, plus king, queen, knight, and jack), alongside the 22 trumps consisting of 21 numbered cards (I to XXI) and the unnumbered Fool (Il Matto), all featuring Italian titles and Arabic numerals on the trumps for gameplay clarity. Key features include single- or double-ended designs, with the latter becoming standard in the late 19th century for easier play; notable artistic elements encompass hand-colored woodcuts, regional motifs like the Phrygian-capped Il Matto (Fool) with a butterfly and knapsack, and manufacturer marks on the ace of coins, such as those from historic Turin producers like Giovanni Rossi (18th century) or Alessandro Viassone (1875). By the 20th century, the Tarocco Piemontese emerged as Italy's sole surviving 78-card tarot pattern for games, produced by firms like Modiano and Dal Negro, and it remains popular in northern Italy and emigrant communities abroad. Overview. Description. The Tarocco Piemontese is a 78-card tarot deck originating from the Piedmont region of Italy, primarily employed in the trick-taking card game Tarocchi Piemontese. This deck serves as the most prevalent tarot playing set in northern Italy, emphasizing practical gameplay over divinatory purposes in its traditional form. Its structure adheres to the classic tarot format, comprising 22 trumps (arcani maggiori)—21 numbered from I to XXI plus the unnumbered Fool (matto)—and 56 suit cards (arcani minori) organized into four Italian suits: batons (bastoni), cups (coppe), swords (spade), and coins (denari). Each suit includes 14 ranks: ace through 10, followed by knave, knight, queen, and king. Distinguishing it from other tarot decks, the Tarocco Piemontese represents a regional Italian variant closely aligned with the Tarot de Marseille tradition but featuring unique artistic elements, such as intricate single- or double-ended illustrations on the trumps and courts, without the esoteric alterations seen in later occult adaptations. Traditional versions prioritize functional, non-mystical designs suited to card play. The name "Tarocco" stems from the Italian tarocchi, a term for the 78-card decks used in 15th-century European trick-taking games, with uncertain deeper origins possibly linked to slang for "fool" or game replies. Significance. Tarocco Piemontese serves as a preserved regional variant of tarocchi games, embodying a distinct folk tradition that traces its roots to the 16th century in Piedmont, Italy, where it evolved independently from broader European tarot influences. This deck, first documented in printed form around 1760 by Giuseppe Lando in Turin, represents one of the longest unbroken lineages of Italian tarot styles, blending elements of the Tarot de Marseille with unique local adaptations such as the Fool's butterfly emblem and regional suit designs. As a cornerstone of Piedmontese card-making, centered in areas like Turin and the Sesia Valley, it highlights the Duchy of Savoy's historical role in fostering specialized playing card production until Italy's unification in 1860. The deck's significance extends deeply into Piedmontese folk culture, where it has long facilitated social gatherings and reinforced community ties, particularly in rural settings during the 19th and 20th centuries. Commonly played in traditional osterias known as piòle—historic taverns that served as post-work social hubs—Tarocco Piemontese games often unfolded over extended sessions on Sundays, involving diverse groups from merchants to locals, and were regulated to curb excessive gambling while preserving their recreational essence. In family and village contexts, such as evening veglie in homes or bars across valleys like that of Piedicavallo, the game transcends mere entertainment, acting as a vessel for intergenerational transmission of customs and fostering bonds of friendship and shared identity. Local associations, including Pro Loco groups, continue to organize tournaments, underscoring its enduring role in rural Piedmontese life. In contrast to the esoteric or divinatory legacies of French-influenced tarots, Tarocco Piemontese emphasizes practical gaming within its native Italian context, originating as a sophisticated Renaissance-era card game among ...
