Trionfi (cards)

Cary sheet, Milan c. 1500.

Trionfi (Italian: [triˈoɱfi], 'triumphs') are 15th-century Italian playing card trumps with allegorical content related to those used in tarocchi games. The general English expression "trump card" and the German "trumpfen" (in card games) have developed from the Italian "Trionfi". Most cards feature the personification of a place or abstraction.
