⭐ Artist Bio
Maria Cristina Venetti is a Venetian micro‑edition artist active in the 1990s, known for creating rare, hand‑crafted Majors‑only tarot decks in collaboration with the historic Bottega del Tintoretto printshop. Her work was produced in extremely small batches, never mass‑marketed, and never reprinted — making her creations exceptionally scarce. Tarocchi Veneziani, designed in 1995 and personally signed by Venetti, appears to be her only known tarot project. The deck’s hand‑made netted bag, wax seal, and signed bilingual provenance card reflect the traditional Venetian artisan methods that define her work. With no other copies currently found on , Etsy, or collector archives, Venetti’s tarot stands as a true ghost‑rare piece of Italian art history.
