The Fool

Il Matto

new beginningsinnocencespontaneityfree spiritleap of faith

The Fool stands at the edge of a cliff, gazing upward with a white rose in one hand and a small bundle in the other. A small dog leaps at his heels. Numbered 0, The Fool exists outside the sequence — both the beginning and the end of the Major Arcana journey.

Il Matto si trova sull'orlo di un precipizio, guardando in alto con una rosa bianca in una mano e un piccolo fagotto nell'altra. Un cagnolino gli salta ai talloni. Numerato 0, Il Matto esiste al di fuori della sequenza — sia l'inizio che la fine del viaggio degli Arcani Maggiori.
