Comprehension Exercise: Le Carte Da Gioco Italiane - Italian Playing Cards Lesson: 102 Unit 12 - Comprehension Exercise: Le carte da gioco italiane - Italian playing cards Trascrizione in taliano Ciao ragazzi, come va? Io sono Manu e questo è Italy Made Easy. E oggi ho un video particolare, per questa serie del vlog e vi vorrei parlare delle carte da gioco italiane. Come sempre in Italia ci sono tante varietà quanti ci sono paesi e quindi ci sono tantissime varietà di carte. Oggi mi faccio vedere due tipi di carte: le siciliane e le piacentine. Allora cominciamo con le piacentine perché io sono cresciuto usando le piacentine e quindi non conosco molto bene le altre… le altre carte. Allora, a differenza delle carte che forse voi conoscete, un mazzo di carte italiane contiene solo 40 carte, non 52. OK, ci sono quattro semi per queste carte. Uno dei semi è questo qui che si chiama denari. Denari. Ci sono 10 carte per i denari. Poi ci sono 10 carte per i bastoni. Questo seme si chiama bastoni. Il prossimo seme si chiama coppe. Vedete le coppe? Eh eh! Bastoni. E poi l'ultimo seme si chiama spade e ci sono delle spade, come vedete. Allora, ogni seme ha 10 carte. Cominciando dal’asso, vi faccio vedere i 4 assi, come sono particolari. Quindi spade, coppe, bastoni, denari. Questi qui sono gli assi. Poi abbiamo i due. Quindi il due di spade, il due di coppe, il due di bastoni e il due di denari. Poi ovviamente continuiamo e vado più veloce e abbiamo il 3 il 4 il 5 e il 6 e il 7 di denari. Poi c'è il 2 quindi il 3 il 4 il 5 e il 6 il 7 di bastoni, il 3 il qua…. Ah, aiuto! Il 5 e il 6 il 7 di coppe, e lo stesso per le spade. E poi arriviamo alle figure che sono 3 persone. Abbiamo il Fante, c'è il cavallo e poi c'è il re. La stessa cosa per le bastoni, quindi fante, cavallo, re. Per le coppe: fante, cavallo. E per le spade: fante, cavallo e re. Perfetto, quindi queste sono le carte italiane. Ci sono moltissimi giochi che si possono fare. In un altro video vi faccio vedere un solitario che facevo quando ero piccolo. Ma adesso vi faccio vedere la differenza con le carte siciliane. Allora, queste sono le spade, OK, vedete come sono diverse? Infatti non le capisco, non le so leggere. Queste sono le denari, i denari scusate, coppe e poi ovviamente bastoni. Quindi, sono esattamente gli stessi semi, le stesse carte, gli stessi valori ma sono diverse per esempio, questo… aspetta, questo è un re di denari delle Piacentine e questo è un re di denari delle Siciliane. Le Siciliane sono più piccole. Vedete? E sono molto diverse. Allora, è tutto per oggi ci vediamo la settimana prossima dove vi faccio vedere un gioco semplice. Ciao ciao! 1 English Transcript Hi guys! How are you? I am Manu and this is Italy Made Easy. And today I have a peculiar video, for this series of vlogs and I would like to talk to you about Italian playing card. As usual, in Italy there are as many varieties of something as there are towns and therefore there are many varieties of cards. Today I am going to show you two types of cards: Siciliane(from Sicily) and Piacentine (from Piacenza) cards. So let's start with the Piacentine, because I grew up using the Piacentine, so I am not very familiar with the other types ... the other cards. So, unlike the cards that may be familiar with, an Italian deck of cards contains only 40 cards, not 52. OK, there are four suits for these cards. One of the suits is this one here called DENARI. Denari. There are 10 cards for Denari. Then there are 10 cards for BASTONI. This suit is called Bastoni. The next suit is called COPPE. You see the cups (coppe)? Eh eh! The sticks (bastoni). And then the last suit is called SPADE and there are swords (spade), as you can see. So, each suit has 10 cards. Beginning for the Ace, I will show you the 4 aces, and how peculiar they are. So, swords (spade), cups (coppe), sticks (bastoni), coins (denari). These here are the aces. Then we have the two's. So the two of swords, the two of cups, the two of sticks and the two of coins. Then of course we keep going and we have 3 4 5 and 6 and 7 of coins. Then there's the 2 then 3 4 5 and 6 7 of clubs, 3 the four .... Ah, help! 4, 5 and 6 of the 7 of cups, and the same for the swords. And then we come to the face cards, that are 3 people. We have the Fante (jockey), there is the Cavallo (horse) and then there's the Re (king). The same thing for the sticks, Jockey, then Horse, then King. For the cups: Jockey, Horse, King. And for swords: Jockey, Horse, King.. Perfect, so these are the Italian card. There are many games that you can play. In another video I am going to show you a game that I used to love when I was a child. now I'll show you the difference with Sicilian cards. So, these are the SPADE, OK, you see how they are different? For this reason, I do not understand them, don't know how to read them! These are the DENARI, COPPE and then of course BASTONI. So, they have exactly the same suits, the same cards, the same values, but they are quite different, For example, this ... wait, this is a king of DENARI in the Piacentine cards and this is a king of DENARI in the Sicilian cards.The Sicilian is smaller. Can you see?And they are very different.Alright, it's all for today. I'll see you next week, where I'll show you a very simple game. Ciao ciao! 2 Your notes 3 .

But slowly from readers last year and hope that this, our second issue, the magazine began to take shape; one or two chance will not disappoint. encounters produced interesting suggestions on subjects Buona lettura! we knew little or nothing about and ideas for other features developed from discussion between ourselves and British Linda Northern and Vanessa Hall-Smith Italian Society members. Thank you to all our contributors. And as the contributions began to arrive we found some unlikely connections – the Laocoon sculpture, the subject of an excellent talk which you can read about in the section dedicated to the BIS year, made a surprise appearance in a feature about translation. The Sicilian artist, Renato Guttoso, an exhibition of whose work is reviewed on page 21, was revealed as having painted Ian Greenlees, a former director of the British Institute of Florence, whose biography is considered at page 24. We also made some interesting discoveries, for example that Laura Bassi, an 18th century mathematician and physicist from Bologna, was highly regarded by no less a figure than Voltaire and that the Milanese delight in finding unusual nicknames for landmarks Vanessa Hall-Smith Linda Northern Cover photo: Bastoni in a Sicilian pack of cards.

  • Playing Cards Made By: Naila Al-Zarqa’ Historical Basis: - Playing Cards Were Introduced to the Islamic Lands from China Sometime Before the 13Th Century
    Playing Cards Made by: Naila al-Zarqa’ Historical Basis: - Playing cards were introduced to the Islamic lands from China sometime before the 13th century. Chinese paper playing cards used designs based on their paper money: coins, strings of coins, myriads of strings, and tens of myriads. Given the visual similitude with the Islamic suits of coins, polo sticks, scimitars, and cups, it is likely (but unproven due to lack of evidence) that the Islamic suits evolved from the Chinese suits. Playing cards were made in Mamluk Egypt as early as the 12th century. Fragments believed to be from playing cards exist from the 13th century (the de Unger fragment is one of the most notable) but the only known complete deck is from the 15th century and is known as the Topkapi deck as it was found in the Topkapi palace although it is likely it was made in Mamluk Egypt. Although the deck is considered complete, the visual styles of the cards indicate that it contains replacement cards from at least 2 other decks. - Extant Islamic playing cards are much larger than modern playing cards, with dimensions of approximately 3.5” x 10”. - Cards were used in the game known as Ganjifa (Persia, India) or Kanjifah (Arabic). In Spain, “Moorish-styled” cards were used for a game called naips which derives from the word na’ib, the name of one of the court cards in the Islamic deck. - I chose to make 4 cards, 1 from each suit. - 4 of cups: based on the de Unger fragment which scholars speculate could be ½ of the 4 of cups or ¼ of the 7, 8, or 9 of cups.

Corner indices were added around During the 19th century, the English pattern spread all over the world and is now used almost everywhere, even in countries where traditional patterns and other suits are popular. In America, the English pattern was copied onto wider cards. The fanciful design and manufacturer's logo commonly displayed on the ace of spades began under the reign of James I of England , who passed a law requiring an insignia on that card as proof of payment of a tax on local manufacture of cards. Until August 4, , decks of playing cards printed and sold in the United Kingdom were liable for taxable duty and the ace of spades carried an indication of the name of the printer and the fact that taxation had been paid on the cards. In the USA, standard playing cards are available in both "wide" and "narrow" sizes, referred to by one manufacturer as either 'poker' or 'bridge' sized; [5] nominal dimensions are summarized in the adjacent table. However, there is no formal requirement for precise adherence and minor variations are produced by various manufacturers in different countries. The slightly narrower cards are more suitable for games such as bridge and some types of poker, where a number of cards must be held or concealed in a player's hand.

  • Dame Fortune's Wheel Tarot
    1 Dame Fortune’s Wheel Tarot Paul Huson © Introduction Dame Fortune and her Wheel Throughout the Middle Ages the powerful Roman goddess Fortuna continued to be believed in, feared and propitiated, possibly even more than the divinity, on account of her well-known fickleness. Although she was dubbed “Dame Fortune” by the populace, the church fathers Lactantius, Aquinas and Augustine regarded her as little more than synonymous with the Devil himself. But by the dawn of the Renaissance she had devolved into a recurring poetic fiction, and as such she appeared as a character in the works of, among other writers, Dante, Boccaccio and Ariosto. In paintings and illustrations she was often depicted blindfolded to demonstrate just how capricious she was, frequently turning a great wheel to which all humanity clung, the poorest wretch at the bottom, the most powerful potentate at the top. The fact that her wheel revolved without stopping symbolized the flux and change of all things, especially the impermanence of wealth and status. She and her wheel featured in a variety of divination devices of the fifteenth century, and indeed she represents one of its central allegorical images of the trumps of the tarot deck. Tarot cards and their use in divination Inspired by imported decks of Middle Eastern playing cards, with suits of Polo Sticks, Scimitars, Cups and Coins, Europeans began manufacturing painted playing cards of their own for trick-taking games sometime during the fourteenth century. Although we cannot be sure which suit signs were first used, card play soon became popular in Europe, and by the early fifteenth century, northern Italy had evolved its own decks, with the puzzling Mamluk Polo Sticks now transformed into Batons, the Scimitars into Swords, while the Cups and Coins remained pretty much unchanged.

  • A Rare and Unusual Set of Ganjifa Cards
    Ashtadikpala: A Rare and Unusual Set of Ganjifa Cards Arunima Pati1 1. Department of Archaeology, Deccan College Post‐graduate and Research Institute, Yerwada, Pune – 411006, Maharashtra, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 30 August 2015; Accepted: 23 September 2015; Revised: 25 October 2015 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 3 (2015): 709‐714 Abstract: The game and cards of Ganjifa are very rare by themselves. The playing of this game and the manufacturing of these cards are on the verge of extinction. Again, among the themes of painting these cards, only the most popular ones like the Dashavatara or the Ramayana are found in the playing centres. But the rarer themes which are many and varied like the Navagraha, the Rashi, and the Astadikpala ganjifas are neither made nor are seen much anywhere. One such set, the Ashtadikpalas, has been discussed specifically in this paper. Keywords: Ashtadikpala, Ganjifa Cards, Dashavatara, Ramayana, Navagraha, Rashi, Odisha Introduction Games and gaming objects have been evolving simultaneously with the process of development of other human activities. Some of these recreational activities still have their traces left as they evolved with changing times. But some did not leave much impact among the playing population and failed to keep up with the changing behavior of people and perished or are in the verge of disappearance. The game of Ganjifa is a clear example of this phenomenon of decreasing popularity. Though it is known that Ganjifa cards and game used to be very popular in many important parts of the world and in the whole of India, the antiquity and origin are still controversial.

The name was given in by Paul Marteau to a copy he made of an older deck created in Marseille, and published by the French card maker Grimaud, a company owned by Marteau. Let us compare one of the Grimaud cards with several decks belonging to the Marseille Tarot:. From left to right we have the following decks:. Tarot of Marseille/Tarot de Marsella/Tarot de Marseille/Tarot de Marseille/Tarocchi Di Marsiglia first three cards are pratically the same, with some very small differences, you almost need a magnifying glass to see them.

  • A Sociology of Archetypes
    A Sociology of Archetypes Mike Sosteric [email protected] Version 0.96 Word Count: 8,286 1 Abstract Archetypes are primordial and collective images of spiritual/psychic/instinctual power. Archetypes inform our self-image, influence how we see the world, and direct many of the actions we take as we navigate and create our realities. According to psychologist Carl G. Jung, archetypes are powerful determines of human experience and human psychological and political realities. As such, they hold significant spiritual, psychological, and sociological interest. There has been sustained interest from those interested in the psychology and spirituality of archetypes; however to date sociologists have remained largely aloof. Hoping to overcome this lacuna, this paper explores the sociology of archetypes by examining the emotional and psychological power of archetypes and by demonstrating how powerful archetypes become situated in elite “spiritual” discourses designed not in the service of human health and development, but in the service of the political and economic agenda of societal and world elites. Keywords: Archetypes, Jung, Religion, Freemasonry, Tarot 2 The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it.....Insofar, therefore, as they rule as a class and determine the extent and compass of an epoch, it is self-evident that they do this in its whole range, hence among other things rule also as thinkers, as producers of ideas, and regulate the production and distribution of the ideas of their age: thus their ideas are the ruling ideas of the epoch.
