Tarot Decks: Il Sentiero dei Tarocchi

Il Sentiero dei Tarocchi (The Tarots Paths) is a poetic photo Tarot deck conceptualized by Giovanni Pelosini and Santini Del Prete. This deck, consisting of only the 22 Major Arcana cards, depicts two men traveling through Tuscany as railway men. They share key experiences of the human condition with human and insight. Both men are present on all cards except for The Fool, which is also the only card to really imitate traditional Tarot symbolism. This is an Italian deck, so all descriptions on all cards are written in Italian.

There were only 500 decks produced, all of them numbered and signed by both artists. Il Sentiero dei Tarocchi was created in 2006 and was published by Museo dei Tarocchi (Hermatena). It's a whimsical Tarot deck that is aimed at collectors and enthusiasts. It can, however, be integrated into your own standard deck if you so desire.
