This deck was inspired by the city of Milan: on the back of each card you can see Milan's Cathedral, the biggest one in Italy and one of the most beautiful in Europe. Its construction took nearly six centuries: it began in 1386 thanks to Gian Galeazzo Visconti, who belonged to one of the most important families of Milan. The colours of the Visconti family, white and red, are still found in the modern emblem of the city, which is represented on the ace of Spades. The Jokers represent Meneghino, one of Milan's symbols. He is a popular theatre character, who is usually portraited as honest and just.
