About this Site

Posted on by under Alchemy, History, Sola Busca Tarot, Tarot

This website was realized by GIORDANO BERTI, Italian writer, historian and teacher of Esotericism in Art.

The site is dedicated to one of the most mysterious Tarot decks of the history, the SOLA-BUSCA TAROT, produced in Northern Italy in 1491 and faithfully reprinted, for colours and sizes, by WOLFGANG MAYER in Germany in 1998.

In August 2016 the sola Busca Tarot has been reprinted by RINASCIMENTO – Italian Style Art under direction by Giordano Berti. This version is carefully reproduced in limited edition: only 700 copies, numbered and signed on a WARRANTY added to the 78 cards.

Differently from the Mayer’s version 1998,  the Rinascimento’s version 2016 has ROUNDED CORNERS and the BACK PRINTED IN MARBLE RED,                   similar to the original cards now at Brera Museum in Milan.
