Tarocco Piemontese ( '' Tarot of Piedmont '' ) is a type of tarot deck of Italian origin . It is the most common tarot playing set in Italy , much more common than the Tarocco Bolognese or the Tarocco Siciliano . The most popular Piedmontese tarot games are Scarto , Mitigati , Chiamare il Re , and Partita which are played in Pinerolo and Turin . This deck is considered part of Piedmontese culture and appeared in the 2006 Winter Olympics closing ceremony held in Turin . As this was the standard tarot pack of the Kingdom of Sardinia , it was also formerly used in Savoy and Nice before their annexation by France . It is also used as an alternative to the Tarocco Siciliano in Calatafimi-Segesta , Sicily . Outside of Italy , it is used by a small number of players in Ticino , Switzerland and was used by Italian Argentines
