Metaphysics of the Sola-Busca Tarocchi Deck (1 of 12)

“The gods exist. The supreme god is Zeus who is ungenerated, but separate from the universe and outside of time. He is the ultimate creator of all the other gods. The secondary deity, Poseidon, is also ungenerated, is master over all form and is entrusted with creation, which he rules along with the other supercelestial Olympian and Tartarean deities. With Hera, who rules the highest matter, Poseidon generates both the celestial deities and the chthonian spirits of nature. He rules the celestial sphere through the leader of the Olympians, Helios; and the earthly realm, and all mortals, through the leader of the Tartareans, Kronos.”

A copy of the Sola-Busca Tarocchi deck was reported in Naples in the 19th century, but no trace of it can now be found. 

As evidenced by a handful of unpainted cards held in London, Paris, Hamburg and Vienna, only a small number of copies of the deck appear to have been made, and only one complete and painted deck is know to have survived. 

This version is called the Sola-Busca after its last private owners, the Marquise Antoinette Busca and her husband Count Andrea Sola-Cabiati. The deck was purchased by the Italian Ministry of Culture in 2009 for 800,000 euros and is now held at the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.
