The series
The Tarot has been read, feared, banned,
and reinvented for six centuries.
What it has rarely been is understood.Commissioned in the courts of Renaissance Italy, mass produced in Bologna by 1450, exempted from the Church's gambling bans and then condemned by Savonarola, the cards carry a real history that has been buried under centuries of mystification.Tarocchi e Racconti recovers that history.Across 12 episodes, leading scholars of the Tarot meet four travelers from different eras inside a chamber outside time.Together they investigate the origins of every card, the truth behind the myths, and the cultural world that gave the Tarot its shape.
