l'appeso
I'm currently working on the restoration of a liguria-piedmont tarot I find particularly interesting. It is a tarot contemporary to the soprafino, but it looks far more primitive:
where the soprafino is lush and "operatic" the guala looks rough and naive,
I lsee the soprafino as the milanese upper society deck while the guala is more of an "osteria" tarot used by the local vineyard workers...
this deck was previously issued by LoS but I believe it to be oop. I own this edition but I really don't like it, wrong colours (too dark and saturated, with a yellowish overall tone) and useless subtitles.
I'd like to print that deck meneghello-style, similar to the soprafino... this is my first go at restorating, and I probably won't publish it commercially. But I guess this could be a great experience... my real goal iwould that of restoring the oldest piedmontese deck, the Ottone tarot (1736) but I haven't find the complete scans yet....
I've been working on the trumps so far... the color palette is still under examination. I dont expect to reach a philological trueness, however I have a clear idea of I want them to look like... light but not too bright...
I hope some knowledgable people in the forum would have a look at this, any suggestion will be truly appreciated!
