Large-format (3" x 5.625" / 7.7 mm x 14.3 mm) Lo Scarabeo reproduction of the influential Sola Busca deck, whose origins have been traced back to Ferrara, Italy in the late 15th century. While following the structure of a standard 78-card tarot, the major arcana depict figures from Roman history and the Bible. There is evidence suggesting that the Sola Busca provided major influences upon the design of the much-later Rider-Waite-Smith tarot. This edition initially issued in a limited printing of 2,999 individually numbered copies in 2017. After the limited print run was exhausted, Lo Scarabeo re-released (in 2019) the high-quality reprint in a premium hardcover box with 144-page softcover guidebook by Paola Gnaccolini.
