22 Arcani in 22 Numeri
(Tarot of Numbers - 22 Major Arcana)
Majors Relating to Numbers from Cultures of the World
Very Limited Edition - Only 36 Hand-Crafted Deck & Box Sets Made
Signed & Numbered by the late great Osvaldo Menegazzi
Tarocco Numerico: 22 Arcani in 22 Numeri
A deck of numbers drawn from many cultures and designed by artisan Osvaldo Menegazzi.
Each number corresponds to and shares characteristics of the meaning of a particular Major Arcana.
The matching hand-crafted box is equally magnificent. Tarot cards from the set adorn the front
(mounted on thick cardstock so it has a 3D effect), as well as Osvaldo's signature hot-wax seal.
Each set has a signed & numbered signature card in his
beautifully handwritten calligraphy on specialty art stock.
The deck is wonderfully illustrated and the artwork is mounted on thick
cardstock with a dark brown paper wrapping around to the front of the cards and folded down at
each corner, giving it a classy, antique look. This very limited edition, hand-crafted collectable
comes in two sizes. A treasured favorite, it is a rare and wonderful set
that any Tarot or art collector would prize! This set became available in late 2008
and is long out of print.

The following note roughly translated from a description sent from
'Il Meneghello' in 2008.
''In 2008 Osvaldo Menegazzi presents us with the
Tarocco Numerico.
In an age in which many cultures mix and meld together, Osvaldo thought to expand this into the field of numbers.
Therefore numbers of several countries of the world (China Egypt, Italy Tibet, India...) become characters of this new project.
Placing them in the order of the 22 mysterious ones, the numbers have come to mirror the meanings, like an ideological artistic chain of the world.''
