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.
