Medieval Scapini Tarot

The cards of the Medieval Scapini Tarot recreate the Middle Ages of Europe with symbolism, costumes and setting. The gold background of the court cards and the Major Arcana recall the great tarocchi of fifteenth-century Italy, and many images on the cards are inspired by masterpieces of the renaissance.

While surrounding the reader with the atmosphere of medieval and renaissance times, the cards reveal the eternal story of the Tarot, relating to the chaos of modern everyday life in the city and to the earthy activities of country life. Both the susceptibilities within universal situations. The symbolism combines medieval icons with the esoteric tradition that became publicly known in the eighteenth century and continues today as a strong part of the tarot.
