I'm fond of the Alida Store site, its in Italian. Tons and tons of local decks.

Here's some good ones to start with. Is there a particular country/language you are interested in? The International Tarot Society http://www.tarotsociety.org/ Philippe Camoin's Tarot of Marseilles School http://www.philippe-camoin.com/cours_en/cours&stages/cours&stages.asp A very good Asian tarot site (In Chinese I ~think~) http://www.isis-osiris.com/ Multi-lingual Cards http://www.serenapowers.com/tarotlang4.html (PS- I work as a Web Analyst for a content filtering/corporate intelligence company, meaning that I spend 40+ hours a week getting paid to surf the Internet (and find/catagorize *cough* adult content). I'm happy to look for specific web sites for anyone who doesn't have the time to do it for themselves. After 3.5 years of being a Web Analyst, I'm really good at finding interesting, obscure web sites quickly. Anyone who needs a little tarot web searching done for them can just drop me a PM. If its a published, still functioning web site, I can find it. ) Laurel

I was curious to see if there were any full deck online scans to the out of print Corona Ferrerra Tarocchi, known as Tarot of the Iron Crown. Once I came across an Italian card fan site with a few scans. It only covers a short span in history of the iron crown. If anyone could find that site again, I'd be happy. It's a historical deck that is also mentioned in Mark Filpas' Tarot Masquerade under the Tarot of Trade Sites of Milan. The Iron Crown legend says its made with a nail from the original cross and its symbolism is woven with history of the various crowned rulers of Italy. I finally got some black and white scans from Kaplan's Volume II Encyclopedia of the Tarot. I was hoping to write a historical paper for evening humanities classes and art history. Just a curious inquiry. Mari H.

Heya Mari. This was a great thing to search for. I had to go back to the sources you cited in your post in order to come up with anything. Once I read through the Pasteboard Masquerade's review of Trades and Sites of Milan, and found out that the deck you are looking for was created by Ferdinand Gumppenberg, things got ~a lot~ easier. :) http://home.swipnet.se/~w-64324/corona.htm has a single color scan of a card. http://maurice.doury.free.fr/coronaferrea.htm is probably the Italian site you found originally, with a few color scans. There don't appear to be any websites with all the cards, unfortunately. The best thing would be to find someone with the 1979 reprint who might scan them for you personally. Laurel

Thanks much! Someday I'll make it to Italy and know my tarocchi collector soulmate when I see it. Until then, I'll be happy with what you found. Best wishes and thanks for my fall research paper, Mari H.
