The figures of the characteristic Neapolitan cards become designer graphics with "Spacc 'o mazz", an artistic project by the Switch communication agency, made up of young creatives under 35.
The graphics of the 10 Denari intertwine with the famous portrait of Charles III, king of Naples who started the Bourbon dynasty. An intuition of the art director Danilo Amato who linked the brilliant sovereign - creator of the San Carlo theater and the Royal Palace of Caserta - in competition exalted by both the Bourbons and the liberals , with the meaning of fortune telling which identifies the boss with the king of money. In short, it is a card that heralds success, good results, fruitful collaborations.
The graphics of the 10 Bastoni intertwine with the well-known portrait of Gioacchino Murat, king of Naples in 1808. A tribute to the fearless soul of the sovereign that is linked to the meaning of the card - according to cartomancy - which indicates a man with a decisive and resolute character .
The graphics of the 10 Spade intertwine with the portrait of Vittorio Emanuele II, the first sovereign of Italy. The fighting soul of the "gentleman king", a man of command and power, marries the meaning of cartomancy which identifies a wise fighter with the king of swords: an important and commanding person, who could be related to justice.
The graphics of the 10 Cups intertwine with the well-known portrait of Ferdinand IV, the first ruler of the House of Bourbon of Naples born in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The "carefree" sovereign - Refractory to the study and commitments of court life and the politics of the kingdom - meets the symbol of the king of cups which identifies the one who often pursues unattainable things.
The graphics are protected by Plexiglas and surrounded by a fine wooden frame handcrafted by the craftsmen of the GM Group, a leading company in the production and distribution of Italian handcrafted frames. Precisely the synergy with GM Group and Switch, all realities belonging to the same holding company of Le Voci di Dentro, allows our atelier to sell designer graphics protected by precious frames at advantageous prices.
