The 22 Arcani Futuristi was designed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Futurist Movement. The deck was released in 2009, just in time for the anniversary itself. This Tarot deck is very limited and each deck is numbered and signed by the artist Osvaldo Menegazzi. The box the 22 Arcani Futuristi comes in is also handcrafted.
This fantastical deck features brightly colored symbols all based on the original 22 cards of the Major Arcana. There are only 22 cards in this deck, so it can be combined with the Minor Arcana from another deck for a full reading. The illustrations are lovely and mounted on a heavy cardstock. There is a dark brown paper wrapping as a backing; this backing folds around to the front of the cards so it is visible at the corners of each face, giving the deck a splendid antique look.
Because each deck is handcrafted (as well as the box), each deck and box are unique. The deck was available in three versions. The large size is approximately 6"x4". The smaller version is only 3½"x2¼". There is also a large deck that comes in a large decorated cardboard box. Its cards measure approximately 5½"x4".
This deck can be used for Tarot readings, but it is more designed for Tarot collectors and enthusiasts. Its powerful artwork makes a great addition to any collection.
