Or at least there are different views on it.
So there appear to be different themes in trionfi at the time...so it seems to me that it is only serendipitous that what we call Tarot today (at least at the beginning) were the images that captured the hearts of the card playing public, and became the standard.
I wonder why?
So many 'do not know's'

In this statement seems to be the implied words that carte da trionfi and the tarocco speak of the same thing. So really after these latterly posts it is still something we do not know."The enlarged pack was soon named carte da trionfi (trump cards, but literally meaning "triumph cards"), probably after the poem I Trionfi by Petrarch, and this was also the name of the game played with them. The word tarocco ("tarot") came into use later on, being found in written sources only as of the early 16th century.
