I think the answer lies with G. Berti
Many of the Lo Scarabeo sets--22 arte sets and the 78 cards sets-- that I have dated after 1995 have Giordano Berti as the main editorial consultant in terms of divinatory meanings. So far, the Egyptian deck with Sylvia Alasia's artwork and the Visconti Gold book-deck sets have a somewhat similar divinatory meaning feel...and Berti did edit both books.
Around 1998 I was beginning to collect modern Italian sets and noticed the ones available in different bookstores included some Lo Scarabeo titles. There is a remarkable similarity in the early sets with divinatory meanings.
I noticed a reading by Kittaine that was great just using the images and her experience reading for friends and others.
Below, I'm wandering off the subject...
If I can draw a similar analogy, when I find U.S. Games decks beginning from publication in 1971, Stuart Kaplan had a lot to do with the LWB information--and his Tarot Classic book on a Swiss-style Marseilles meanings seemed to mirror the Visconti Tarocchi deluxe set his publishing house distributed with the Longobardia Museum in Italy...I have a funny feeling that some of the standard meanings for the Ukiyoe Tarot and the Angel Tarot designed with the Angel Playing Cards company in 1982 also mirror the same meanings...
I haven't ventured into looking at the LWB for Kaplan's releases of the Tavaglione Tarot, Caligstro or other Italian deck meanings too deeply...but there is a similarity between the meanings in the Tavaglione for U.S. Games and Tarot of the Stars/Stella for Dal Negro .
