Can anybody tell me where can I find more about these cards? About the meanings of each card, the spreads, methods, possibilities of use...?

Those cards are familiar... I think I have deck loose and scattered in a drawer somewhere - will look them out.

For some reason that link doesn't work, try this;

Bernice, I'm glad you replied!!

You can type into Google carte napoletane and many image results will show up.

These cards are, apparently, really powerful and in the skilled hands can say a whole lot! I'll try to dig up some more information!

In the meantime, if anyone knows anything, let us know!

I keep forgetting that rule.

I removed the link.

Oh sorry, my deck has very, very similar images but it's a Fournier one. There is border line surrounding the image.The Ace of Coins says, VITORIA (50 cartas), and on the Coin are the words Varios Premios. (It seems I don't have a full deck, not got 50 cards...)

Hopefully someone else has this deck, and reads with it!

I found this site, apparently it explains how to read with this deck;

Just found them for sale at Alida (40 cards), there are three publishers, which deck do you have?

# Napoletane Dal Negro
# Napoletane Masenghini
# Napoletane Modiano

I rather like the look of the Dal Negro.....

I like them all. Masenghini, Dal Negro, Modiano.

No wonder you thought you had them, there are really similar looking ones, Italy has many other types of regional cards (carte regionali): piacentine, piemontesi, siciliane...

You are enabling me! I've just been looking to buy a deck. I can only find the the Modiano one......
