i Tarocchi della Follia

1987 limited edition tarot from Lo Scarabeo's 'Fantastico' series. Artist Alessandro Baggi is an Italian comic book illustrator (Dampyr, l'Altra Faccia del Fumetto); his tarot images are deliberately exagerated and often disturbing. The Follia deck has 38 cards, the first 22 of which correspond to the standard major arcana. The remaining cards represent the 12 signs of the zodiac and the four elements. The deck title translates into English as 'The Tarot of Madness.'
