This is a Limited Edition (300 numbered copies), 78 card deck. The back story on this deck is well worth mentioning the deck was completed between the years 1982-1983, and is being published posthumously in her honor by her close friend, museum curator Morena Poltronieri. The deck follows traditional lines, and comes with an information card that shows the cards copy number. This is a Marseilles style deck in that the Pips (numbered cards) do not show scenes, only the requisite number of suit icons. The card titles are in Italian, and there is no companion book, or LWB (Little White Book). The box that the cards come in is a style that I have not seen before envelope style, made of sturdy cardboard, folding around to the back and tucking in to the back side. The box is black, with a card from the deck attached to the front. With a little common sense and care, this box will hold up to usage. The cards themselves are larger than normal approximately 3 ¼ by 5 7/8. The card stock is good quality, semi-gloss. The backs of the card carry a ¼ white border, followed by a 1/8 gold braided border. In the middle of the card the normal card background for the Museo Dei Tarocchi is
