Sine Requie Tarocchi      2007 Elia Morettini      Italy                                                   Art Medium: Oil or acrylic paintings. Description: This Tarocchi is actually part of a role playing game which seems to be based on the scenario of the formation of a Fourth Reich after the Second World War. The book provides all the background to the supposed history and the materials necessary to play the game. It leads us into a world where the Nazis had triumphed. The deck consequently is rather dark in mood. Its title 'Sine requie' translates as "without rest". The Empress is seen in a Nazi style uniform, while the Tower shows the Eifel Tower in Paris being destroyed. Temperance is rather gruesome, depicting a woman in a bridal dress squeezing the blood out of a heart into her goblet or chalice. Temperance has surely never been portrayed in such a bleak way.
