Masenghini: "Bergamasche Poliplastiche" Plasticized Italian Playing Cards Deck of 40 cards [ Italian Import ]

Description

Dal Negro is one of the Best Cards manufacturer in the world, with an incredible collection of Italian regional cards. The total number of Italian regional patterns is "officially" 16; a few others became extinct, or are made for areas outside the country. This deck of cards is an authentic deck of Italian playing cards. Italian playing cards most commonly consist of 40 cards (4 suits from 1-7 and 3 face cards). The three face cards in each deck are the King, Cavallo (calvary man) and Fante (Infantry Man), except in the French region (see below) which uses a Queen instead of a Cavallo. Playing with Italian playing cards gives any player a wonderful historical perspective on this great country.
