Ciro Marchetti was inspired by the Tarot de Marseille to come out of retirement and create the Tarot Decoratif, a deck that combines the pillars of the older Marcelles decks with the Popular Rider Waite Smith decks. In the Triumphs (or Majors) Ciro pays homage to the Marseille ideals. The Pip Cards are intended to be interpreted using a Numerological method but the inclusion of RWS imagery adds another dimension to interpreting the cards. All of this is wrapped up in Ciro's own Modern Magic-realistic style and set with Art Deco Imagery and colors reminiscent of illuminated stained glass.
