Renaissance Symbolism & Tarot Wisdom

The Renaissance was a time of intellectual awakening, artistic mastery, and exploration of the human spirit. Tarot of the Renaissance mirrors these qualities by blending classical tarot symbolism with imagery drawn from noble courts, everyday life, and philosophical ideals of the period.

This approach encourages reflective readings that emphasise personal growth, ethical choices, and the balance between material life and inner wisdom.

Creation & Artistic Vision

The deck was developed by Pietro Alligo, with artwork by Giorgio Trevisan. The illustrations are carefully composed to echo Renaissance painting styles, textures, and visual storytelling, while remaining faithful to traditional tarot meanings.

Published by Lo Scarabeo, this deck reflects the publisher’s dedication to historical authenticity, artistic quality, and tarot tradition.
