\n
About this deck
\n
Visconti Tarot Mini from Lo Scarabeo is a refined mini edition of one of the oldest and most iconic tarot decks in the world. Based on the 15th century deck commissioned by the Duke of Milan, this deck combines rich Renaissance art with modern craftsmanship. The mini version retains all the elegance of the original, but in a handy size that is ideal for collectors, travelers or those with smaller hands.\n
Background and imagery
\nThe art is attributed to Bonifacio Bembo, an Italian Renaissance court painter. The cards are richly decorated with gold foil and show classical symbolism that harks back to medieval and Christian themes. The Major Arcana are sophisticated and symbolic, while the Minor Arcana have a more decorative style, similar to traditional Italian playing cards. This makes the deck visually impressive, although it requires a little more experience or intuition when reading the Minor cards.\n
how the deck comes to life in readings
\nThanks to the compact size and the flexible cardboard, the deck is easy to handle and pleasant to shuffle. The cards feel sturdy and, despite their luxurious appearance, remain suitable for regular use. readers value it as a collectible and as a work deck, especially for rituals or as a meditative tool. Please note: the card names are modern, such as “Pentacles” instead of “Coins”, which purists sometimes find disturbing.\n\n
Is this deck welcoming to those just starting out?\n\nFor those new to tarot, the lack of illustrations on the Minor Arcana can be a challenge.
