The Itarocki Tarot is part of Lo Scarabeo's :Tarrocchi D'Arte" series. The deck is copyright 1995. the idea belonged to Paoloa De Filippo, and the art is by Massimo Galloni. The artwork is a series of 22 lithographs.
The deck is 5 5/16" by 2 27/32". The card stock is heavy, slightly textured, and unfinished. The corners are square.
The backs have a black and white portrait of Elvis with a background of stars and stripes, and two guitars in an ornate Art Deco style frame.
The card fronts have a color portrait of each artist, featuring both hard rock artists such as Pantera and Metallica, to pop icons like Madonna and Prince.
I don't use this as a reading deck, and most likely will not in the future. This is a majors-only deck.
This is a collectible deck.
I don't know if it is in print (I don't think so.)
I would replace it if it strayed.
I may look for another copy - my deck has had something sticky dripped onto it which has damaged two of the cards.
