[edit] Tarot contribution

Tarot publisher and designer - founder of Il Meneghello specialized in historical reproductions, and decks with specific themes (also known as fetish decks), but more recently he is also creating lovely hand-crafted, limited edition Tarocchi decks and gorgeous matching boxes.

[edit] Biography

Osvaldo Menegazzi had no formal art training. A teenager during WWII, he hadn't the opportunity to attend university. His father was an Olympic athlete and local hero. Osvaldo's great skill and vast knowledge of art and tarot history is self-taught. He has been doing art since he was a young boy with a passion that has never wavered. Over the decades, Osvaldo has published many historically important Tarots and produced the decks of artist friends, fetish (theme) decks, as well as hosted collaborative decks. More recently he is focussing his creative energies on elaborate shadow boxes, and designing and hand-crafting beautiful decks with intricate matching boxes. All these can be found on his website [1]. Osvaldo's Milano Tarocchi Art shop Il Meneghello is well worth a visit. It has a timeless, magical quality, sure to put a spell on any Tarotist.
