[edit] Tarot contribution
Morena Poltronieri and Ernesto Fazioli, of the Tarot publishing House Hermatena and co-founders of Museo dei Tarocchi (a fabulous Tarot Museum in Northern Italy).
Partnering with artist/writer and certified tour organizer, Arnell Ando in 2011; Morena Poltronieri of the Tarot Museum began leading Tarot Art & History Tours of Northern Italy. The goal of these inspirational and culturally rich journeys around Italy is to share many important places of a historical nature relating to Tarot. You can view a short musical video [1] Arnell made of their 2012 tour. They trace the long history; from an artistic emergence during the Renaissance (such as in Milan and Bologna) while exploring contemporary Italian Tarot art and related themes that continue to evolve in this artistically rich environment. The outline for the 2013 tour can be found here: [2].
[edit] Biography
Ernesto and Morena met in 1992 and soon became close friends. Both are from the bustling city of Bologna, in Northern Italy. Ernesto graduated from a 5 year program at a professional tour and travel college, and is an expert tour guide, and able to communicate in a few key languages. Ernesto began reading Tarot in 1989. Morena has been collecting Tarot and doing readings for over 30 years. They have studied many esoteric schools of thought together and independently. The Hermatena publishing house came into being in 2001 and has produced some of the most original and creative decks and intriguing themes for exploring the Tarot. Morena and Ernesto moved their families to Riola (a picturesque hill top village outside of Bologna) in 1999. The concept for the Tarot museum took root in 2005 and with much sweat and toil, heart and soul it has transformed from a 400 year old building and abandoned general store into an enchanting Tarot paradise, full of magical wonders sure to inspire and mesmerize any Tarotist lucky enough to find themselves there.
