Italian playing cards most commonly consist of 40 cards (4 suits from 1-7 and 3 face cards). The three face cards in each deck are the King, Cavallo (calvary man) and Fante (Infantry Man), except in the French region which uses a Queen instead of a Cavallo. Playing with Italian playing cards will give any player a wonderful historical perspective on this great country.



The Spanish style decks are primarily used in the southern half of the country including the island of Sicily. They feature the Spanish style suits of coins, cups, swords and batons (also known as clubs). There are 40 cards in each deck. This regional style features a full range of colors. The images are full with ornate details and the use of shading gives the playing cards a life like appearance.



The actual card sizes tend to be wider than the northern Italian cards, but are still a little smaller than their US counterparts.
