Naibi di Giovanni Vacchetta
Artist: Giovanni Vacchetta, 1893
Limited, Numbered Edition of 1500
Water-colored by Osvaldo Menegazzi
Published by il Meneghello, 2001
78 card Tarot classic reproduction
Dimensions: 4.72'' x 2.36 inches, 12 x 6 cm.
This is a limited and numbered edition of 1500 reproduced with great care by Il Meneghello in 2001. Each card was painted by hand (in water color) by artist and publisher, Osvaldo Menegazzi. Naibi di Giovanni Vacchetta is a beautiful contribution to the Tarot legacy by renown artist, Giovanni Vacchetta (1863-1940). It was originally printed in 1893.
The I Naibi di Giovanni Vacchetta Tarot is a reproduction of an uncolored 78-card Tarot deck originally published in 1893. As of today in 2015 there are 3 different reproduction versions available on the market for this Tarot, all colored differently. It is also nicknamed “The Vacchetta Tarot.” All available known versions are listed in this article.
One of the accessible versions of the Naibi di Giovanni Vacchetta Tarot is a numbered limited edition of only 1500 prints available published in 2001. The version is still sold by the publisher in Italy and is still reasonably priced for its age since publication and limited availability. This version is also known as the Il Meneghello (publisher) or Osvaldo Menegazzi (artist) hand-colored version.
Unlike other published versions of this deck, this edition does not come with any paperwork that explains the card meanings or translates the card names to English. If you are familiar with French or Italian Marseilles and Etteilla decks, this will not be a problem. Otherwise you will need to do some research on the history and meaning of the cards which is quite different from the popular modern Rider-Waite version, designed and authored by Arthur Waite.
These photos come from the limited edition deck I received from Italy:

This Tarot deck is printed on a heavy paperboard (or ultra thin cardboard-like) cardstock similar in thickness to a postcard, fine greeting card or event announcement. The quality of the cardstock however is as if the card paper was handcrafted. I cannot confirm if it is the case but it is a specialty paper. The cardback is a “standard” reversible Marseilles style; intended white with patterns of dotted circles.
These cards are matte with no finish. (If your hands are damp and you touch the cards, they will soak liquid like a napkin.) The cardstock is also quite flexible and subject to creasing if you are not careful. The cards need to be mindfully handled with care and ease and kept away from moisture.
The “raw” finish of these cards feels lovely, and at the same time difficult to handle. The cards catch friction with one another quite easily. The only safe way to shuffle a collector’s deck like this is to cut the cards into several “packs” (smaller sized stacks) and then consolidate them in a random order repeatedly. There is no way I wanted to even try and shuffle the cards hand-over-hand or the whole lot of them would end up bent and creased from repeated collisions.
Despite the drawbacks of needing to handle this Tarot delicately to maintain its like-new condition, I feel that the value and asking price is beyond reasonable for how much I enjoy this Tarot deck and I wish I had bought two of them!
