Tarocchi di Haram      1979 Franco Bellenghi      Italy                                                   Art Medium: Pen and acrylic or watercolour. Description: Published together with a hardcover book 'Il Segreto dei Tarocchi'. Haram (Franco Bellenghi 1940-1997)was a careful student of esotericism and astrology true lover. In 1979, he wrote the "Secular Manual of Astrology ", a two-volume work in which an attempt was made ??to understand "in a rational way a phenomenon seemingly irrational." He deliberately left this life on 30.5.1997. Many of the cards are renamed but the symbolism remains recognisable. Thus The Fool 21 is renamed 'Il Viandante', Death is 'La Mietitura' (Harvest), Judgement is Il Risveglio (Awakening) and the World is 'l'Androgino'.
