Live Like an Italian Part 11/17 Sicilian Playing Cards. Are They Actually Sicilian?

Discover the fascinating history of Sicilian playing cards in this video! Playing cards originated in China, spread to Mamluk Egypt in the 14th century, and then reached the Iberian Peninsula, influencing Italian decks by the late 14th century. Sicilian cards are a simplified version of Spanish Madrid cards, reflecting Sicily and Naples’ history under Spanish rule, with four suits—swords (spade), cups (coppe), coins (denari), and clubs (bastoni)—and 40 cards per deck. Learn about the unique differences between Sicilian and northern Italian cards, the three face cards per suit (knave, cavallo, and re), and the popular traditional games you can play, including Scopa, Briscola, Tressette, and Sette e mezzo. Explore the rich cultural and historical story behind these iconic Italian cards!
