There are only 250 of this limited edition set in existence, all of them signed and numbered by the photographer, Chiara Galliano. Shells are the theme of the 22 Conchiglie in 22 Arcani, all in black and white with beautiful shades and contrasts. The photographs have depth and beauty, giving this 22-card deck added nuance.
First available in 2012, this deck comes with a sturdy gift box. It's more a collectors set than something to use for readings, but it's lovely nonetheless.
Italian in origin, the 22 Arcani Liguri in 22 Arcana was created in 1992 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christoforo Colombo/Christopher Columbus. Each of the 22 Major Arcana cards was designed and created by a different artist, giving the deck a slightly incoherent and mystical feel. Only 2000 numbered decks were released and it comes with a commemorative notice and booklet, both in Italian, of course.
This deck, because of its limited print run, us a little rare and not generally seen by the general public. It's also not generally used for readings, but is instead considered a collector's item.
