A long-awaited project: the most important reunion ever of the Colleoni tarot deck, held between the Carrara Academy, New York’s Morgan Library, and a private collection in Bergamo.

On display is an exceptional opportunity to see together the 74 papers made by Bonifacio Bembo and Antonio Cicognara and to delve into their history, investigating their patrons, artists, fascinating decorations and execution techniques, also in light of recently conducted scientific analyses.

The exhibition will also explore the history of the genre along a time span of six centuries: from its origins in the early 15th century to the present day, thanks to extraordinary national and international loans. Originating as an aristocratic game and amusement and becoming with the advent of printing entertainment for all, the tarot turned into a technique for divination of the future, achieving surprising fortune.
