Morgan-Greer Tarot (Italian Edition) Cards – January 1, 1996

The Italian deck has several differences from the English Morgan-Greer besides the language, thought this might be helpful for anyone deciding between the two. The Italian deck is a few millimeters wider, showing a bit more information at the edges of the image. The back is a much lighter blue, and the colors of the face of the cards are a little less saturated... The Italian deck is a little more washed out and looks more vintage (and less cartoony) than the English version. I like that, but it's personal preference. Most cards of the English deck "pop" more and are more vibrant, but on the same token, certain cards were much darker and it hid some of the detail.The width of this deck is the same as my Robin Wood deck, and a little bit taller. The stock is not too glossy and slippery, has more of a silky feel with a touch of shine. I'm a fan of this deck. If you're used to the Rider Waite symbols, this is an easy transition. Because of that, I don't really need to translate any of the Italian words since they use similar imagery and I recognize the cards. If this were my first deck, I would have leaned towards the English version.

Colors are vivid but dull enough to provide a vintage feel. A few interesting details on some of the cards review a little about the artist’s process, like on the Magician card: there seems to be a faint pencil line between the ouroboros and the magician’s head. Also a faint circular outline of the head itself. Nice and organic!I wanted the Italian version for my own silly reasons (adds some pizazz), though I don’t speak Italian.Apparently there’s a grammatical error on The Star card’s title? I don’t mind it much myself, but you might.There are some smudges on the cards’ backs but looking at other reviews it seems like it’s a pattern. Doesn’t bother me either.Card stocks is nice. They Shuffle and riffle like velvet. Overall, very happy with this deck.

Sometimes, I ask myself: do I need another RWS system deck? The answer yes. I love that this deck feels like a product of its time. I didn't know I needed a 70's aesthetic deck, but now that I own this one, of course I needed it. It's absolutely gorgeous and that 70's feel reminds me of my childhood in a way, that this deck feels like coming home. I love having it in Italian, as I don't know any Italian, it leads me to rely even more on the images, especially with the court cards.My only drawback with this deck, is that some of the cards feel a bit literal (The Lovers and The Devil come to mind), and that takes some of the nuances out of them. The card stock is rather stiff, and while I prefer thinner card stock, I know a lot of people will appreciate that this deck will hold up to more wear. Overall, it's a great deck that I'm sure will provide wonderful readings for years to come.

First, I got a deck and thought it was a bit darker. I did a spread and it impressed me. I feel lucky because the cards tell a perfect story and easy to read. I would say must have deck :)

Great quality...not cheaply made

I really like the feel,quality and artwork of this deck. would be five stars but I found a mistake in the text. it should be "La Stella"(singular) or "Le Stelle" (plural)

The artwork is stunning. I get many compliments for this deck.The quality of the cardstock is my favorite of all of my decks.The typo for La Stella is SO disappointing.

I am returning this deck because the misspelled Italian (Le Stella) really bothers me

Didnt want it wrong language its Italian not english so not happy and very expensive for what they are.

imagery on these cards, really pleased with them, I have numerous decks,but always come back to this one in particular due to the fact that the imagery is so clear and powerful, would definitely recommend, service is second to none as well, very pleased.

Lovely deck. Very clear and easy to read. No borders which makes brings the pictures right to the front. Do make sure to check all the small print as I actually missed the bit which explained it was the Italian version, my mistake and still easy to see which cards they are but being distracted while making the purchase meant this bit was missed.

These are the Italian version which I knew and exactly what I wanted. I am very pleased with the card stock they are printed on which seems sturdy enough on first inspection. If there is a downside the colours are slightly subdued but that may be down to when the cards were first painted. Could do with a revamp to brighten them up.

As described
