"Ludos sit talis, tessera, saccho, carthis variis imaginibus pictis. Absit inter ludendum omnis fraus et avaritia, qua illiberalior et destestandus fit ludus, nec ullam affert ludenti voluptatem."<br><br> <li>(around 1480) Girolamo Riario, nephew and the "right hand" of Sixtus IV. and, as it is said, the "bad spirit" of the pope, is well known for his gambling activities, also in churches and other holy places. Girolamo is married to Catherina Sforza, illegitimate daughter of the former Milanese duke Galeazzo Maria Sforza. <br><br> <li>After 1492: Cardinal Ascanio Sforza and Pope Alexander VI are known to have played with playing cards excessively. Ascanio was already very interested in cards as a child, his elder brother Galeazzo Maria forbade it to him. </ul> <h3>Rome - informations</h3> <ul> <li><a href="http://gutenberg.spiegel.de/gregorov/stadtrom/rom13.htm" target="_blank">Geschichte der Stadt Rom<br> </a> </ul> </td></tr></table> <hr><br><br> <center><b><font size="1">Trionfi.com </b>has its focus on Tarot History and especially the origin of Tarot in 15th century, also the representation of about 100 000 Tarot and other playing cards in the Tarot Museum. <br><b>The Chapter "Cities - and their Playing Card notes" gives these notes and some additional information to the cities"</b>. <br> Author: when not otherwise specified, autorbis.
