Scopa is my favorite version, although they are all great. I'm not sure where to buy a "Piacentine" deck in the states, but it has to be found somewhere...maybe in New York? You’re welcome!

They are also played with any of the pack of cards, such as Triestine, Napolitane, Piacentine, etc. Watching the men play in particular briscola can be very amusing.

I am American, but my mother's side is all Italian, living in Italy still. My nonna taught me Scopa when I was little and I still have the cards she gave me back then. Now I have taught my kids. Such wonderful memories! Also, seeing people playing cards in the piazzas is another thing I love so much about Italy! Thank you for this post! Yay – I love this post!

As Children we spent hours played Scopa with our Grandmother and as adults have reminisced about the game which we remember the experience but little more. We would love to renew those precious hours playing the game with our children and grandchildren. We only need to purchase a deck of these Italian cards. Can you help? Please help us find a way to make a purchase of this deck of cards. Thank you Thank you for these memories.

More of these please! Does anyone know the cardgame tresette (I believe it's called) ? It's mentioned in some novels but I never figured out how it works. This is really a very nice note.
