===Painted deck===
The complete painted deck is housed at the Brera Museum in Milan. It can trace its provenance to the noble Busca-Serbelloni family. In the early 19th century, the deck was owned by Marchioness Busca (born Duchess Serbelloni) of Milan. In 1907, the Busca-Serbelloni family donated black-and-white photographs of all 78 cards to the British Museum, where they were likely seen by [[A.E. Waite]] and [[Pamela Colman Smith]], inspiring the subsequent [[Rider–Waite-Smith Tarot]] deck. From 1948, the deck was owned by the Sola-Busca family, from which it received its name.
