Minchiate Card: Fama (The Trumpet)

The figure of Fame is positioned centrally, viewed from the waist up against a solid red background. She has auburn hair, large feathered wings, and wears a blue bodice with a draped, patterned mantle featuring fleur-de-lis motifs. She holds two long, narrow trumpets to her lips with both hands, angled outward. Below, a simplified architectural skyline of Florence is depicted, including the dome of the Duomo. The card is framed by a decorative border of repeating dashes.

This card originates from the Minchiate deck, a 17th-century Florentine expansion of the standard tarot. The iconography of Fama blowing a trumpet to signify worldly renown is a common humanist trope in Renaissance allegory, frequently associated with Petrarch's 'Trionfi' (Triumphs).
