From the U.S. Games Cary-Yale Visconti Tarocchi booklet:

These rare cards have been reproduced in authentic color tones from the extant Visconti-Sforza tarocchi deck dating from mid-fifteenth century milan.

Italy holds the honor of producing several of the earliest known hand-painted playing card packs that contain the twenty-two mystical and allegorical trump cards called trionfi. The incomplete extant packs include 74-cards from the Visconti-Sforza tarocchi pack, 57-cards from the Cary-Yale Visconti tarocchi pack, and 48-cards from the Brera Gallery or Brambilla Visconti pack. Artists in Ferrara and Florence also hand painted fifteenth century tarocchi cards. The connection of cards to the Visconti and Sforza families of fifteenth century milan is based upon the heraldic devices and mottos appearing on the cards.
