Tarocchi della Salute      Gabriele Fortino      Italy                                                   Art Medium: Pen drawings with watercolour. Description: Possibly a promotional item for the magazine Starbene ('Fitness'). a weekly magazine of good health ('Salute'). The backs of the cards also advertise a telephone horoscope line which charges a fee in Lira, so this tarot must predate the introduction of the Euro in 2002. The artist has used a rather acid palette with a dominant Chrome Yellow. The imagery is classical, drawing on 16th century Italian book illustrations.
