The earliest known appearance of the word "Tarocho" as the new name for the game is in Brescia around 1502. | The earliest known appearance of the word "[[tarot|Tarocho]]" as the new name for the game is in Brescia around 1502. | ||
"Tarochi" was used in June 1505 in Ferrara. In December 1505, "Taraux" decks are mentioned as being produced in the papal enclave of Avignon in France. Around this time, the word Trionfi seems to modify its character in a playing card context; it appears as a game of its own and seems no longer connected to the specific allegorical cards. This is most likely due to the popularity of Trionfa which usurped the old name. The word taroch was used as a synonym for foolishness in the same period. | "Tarochi" was used in June 1505 in Ferrara.
