About us

“I have been following the Tarot de Marseille courses held by Carlo for a year and a half now and I can say with certainty that they are one of the most absorbing experiences of my life; it is perhaps the first time that something has excited me so much even after such a long time. Every time I return to the Academy’s seminars, I am filled with this fantastic Divine Energy that still accompanies me for days on despite the return to the daily routine, often so unromantic. The Tarot is now an indissoluble and irreplaceable presence in my life; it’s a wise advisor, faithful companion who will always accompany me along this fantastic journey…Carlo is the best conceivable messenger for a message as high as that of the Tarot; with his sweet and loving energy he transmits teachings that come to him from another dimension with an attention and enthusiasm that conquer the heart. Sara, with her warm dedication and grace so divine, is the perfect helper in such a special duty…..Thank you from the bottom of my heart. See you soon.”

“It is unusual to accompany Arcana, it is like living in a permanent destabilisation that goes towards its intrinsic composition. The Tarot puts the blood back into circulation after oxygenating it, pigments it with experience towards itself and pontificates towards the other. Inevitable not to meet it when spirituality seeks the missing breath, when in the abyss one thinks that night will be in the abyss again. Yet the riskiness goes hand in hand with the fatigue of being, and this polaroid that is Tarot, made up of images that follow one another and illustrate the action of the moment and the cardio-reflections of action, manifests itself as an incision on the skin that induces a sense of existence and makes the archaeological feeling of the ancestors signify itself. With the Tarot, one illuminates the Lascaux Caves and is at once wildebeest and ithyphallic man, a mystery that belongs to us and that we delineate with the knowledge that fire casts necessary shadows on the cave walls. A language for all that silently demands dedication and devotion to the relics produced in order to understand them and ascend towards generative paintings of new. Contemplation to be shared in the common cup; the embodiment of the Pilgrim who makes himself World by throwing dice, hatching books, weighing constricting blades, turning cranks with ancestral rusts. One can come out naked and dancing in the sacred. My floral gratAces to Carlo and Sara.

“Following the course on the Major Arcana was an intense and involving experience even for someone like me who always tries to keep my distance from anything… I clearly perceived the depth, power and multifaceted vastness of the Tarot and its symbols, and I realised how much I still have to study and apply myself before I arrive at a slightly deeper understanding of this tool, both from a doctrinal and a practical reading point of view. To have realised that one still understands almost nothing about the Tarot might perhaps seem a rather minimal result, at the end of a course that has lasted almost a year… but I am convinced that it is a fundamental point of arrival (and departure), an excellent result that is entirely due to Carlo and Sara and their ability to transmit enthusiasm and knowledge. For this I thank them very much… “

Maurizio, Rome

From the very first meeting, the Tarot left a deeper and deeper mark: I perceived that I was entering a world, dare I say it, a sacred world and another reality, different from the ordinary one… I felt them as a guide capable of enlightening me and opening me up to other possibilities on the path of existence. Thanks to Carlo and Sara.

One can approach the Tarot in different ways. For almost everyone at the beginning, it is normal to have an ‘oracle consultation’ approach. We are constantly faced with choices, we often doubt, and it is a strong temptation to think that someone can provide us with an answer, the right answer, following which we can avoid mistakes and bad investments. If, on the other hand, one decides to embark on a path of growth through the Tarot, it becomes a formidable transformative factor. Every choice, in fact, is an exploration of a direction. Any exploration can be right, if the person who chooses is “whole.” But how can you always be whole? Exactly this is the path. From the experience I have been able to gain, and which has yet to evolve into stages of greater awareness, the Tarot, through the cards, i.e. through symbols, colours, characters and positions, takes a snapshot of the Consultant’s current situation. Every choice, in fact, starts from a positioning along our evolutionary path. There are, in my opinion, ‘low’ choices and ‘higher’ choices, and the questions we ask reflect our positioning. The Tarot also gives indications of the development of the situation with respect to the question, framing the characters, the emotional climate and, in an extremely generous way, giving warnings or even alarming about possible dangers (dangers to our integrity). But the Tarot’s greatest strength is its capacity for ‘blessing’: when the Angel of Temperance comes out of the cards, I cannot help but be moved by the sense of ‘protection’ that this card communicates to me… Finally, the Tarot is also a school, because it teaches one to stand in front of icons, and therefore also in front of situations, with greater purity. Knowing that the Tarot is “sacred,” one learns over time to address it not with a bulimic need for ready answers but with extreme respect for its power, and our power, for the humble act of asking…

“Carlo Bozzelli, through his lectures, succeeds in no easy task: explaining the Inexplicable. To do so, he walks the tightrope of different registers. Carlo is the professor of a rigorous subject who explains with method and reasoning, and at the same time he is a shaman capable of evoking the Tarot and activating in others faith in intuition; he makes us all capable of listening and recognising the power of the symbol. First in the Tarot deck and then outside it, in the world. Bozzelli’s courses are erudite and intense but, more importantly, transformative. Yes, attending the Tarot Academy is a life-changing experience!”

Fabia & Fulvio, Rome

“Dear Carlo and Sara, as far as I am concerned, my experience with the Academy and with you has been more than positive: for the thoroughness, competence and courtesy, both live and online. I felt very comfortable and at ease, despite the subject matter being anything but simple and despite having no previous experience. Thank you! See you soon and a hug.”

Gianpaolo, Sanremo

“I am a doctor used to giving everything around me a rational meaning. When I signed up for the course, I did so to accompany a close friend of mine. The result was an incredible journey in which the cards speak to you with such exactitude that you can have no doubts. I thank my friend again… “

Maura, Rome

“I am a doctor, I learned by chance from a newspaper advertisement about the workshop in nearby Sanremo and so I decided, together with my wife Simonetta, to participate. I was sceptical and knew nothing about Tarot, but I never let myself be influenced by prejudices. I followed an Alchemy master years ago and with a group of friends we used to go to Tuscany as far as Barberino del Mugello to listen to his lectures and I remember that something had emerged about the Tarot of Marseille; so I was curious to delve into the subject and curious to see if there were people prepared to explain them. Not only did I find the answer to my questions and curiosities, but I found in Carlo and Sara wonderful people who transmit all the energy of a universal message that is a tool for knowledge and awareness. This is an experience and a path that everyone should take in life. We should all be a little tarologist, it would help us to better understand the whole universe and above all ourselves. “

Carlo e Simonetta, Albenga

“Meeting Carlo, Sara and the Academy two years ago was an event that radically changed my existence. Entering the world of the Tarot meant becoming aware of my Soul, a precious seed that was waiting to be planted. Attending courses and starting to practise readings is the gardener’s care and natural fertiliser for the seedling that slowly peeps out. The feeling I have every time I approach this marvel is that I have found a garment in which I feel perfectly at ease, a Star to follow, a totally just way of putting myself at the service of those in need. The Academy courses are an opportunity – and I can never thank the Universe enough, which brought it to me.”

Ilaria, Florence

“I have completed, with great pleasure, the course of the Major Arcana. Until now, every inner path I have taken has been partly hindered by my innate rationality, which prevents me from ‘trusting’ what I cannot fully comprehend. Then I met the Tarot. It was the BRIDGE that suddenly appeared on my path. A bridge made of trust in the mysterious and ‘arcane’ instrument, but also of clear and rational understanding of the eternal language of symbols, through which the Tarot speaks to us. I enthusiastically crossed this BRIDGE and a new world presented itself. Thank you Carlo, thank you Sara, thank you Tarot.”

Piera, Bologna

“I attended the Academy’s basic courses with pleasure, for the welcoming and serene atmosphere, the professionalism shown and the valuable information received. I had been reading the Tarot for some time, following my own ‘intuitive’ method… and I immediately experimented myself with some readings after completing the basic training. The consultants, friends and acquaintances, or perfect strangers, who arrived at the suggestion of friends, felt after the reading that they had been counselled, helped to face situations that were not easy, to express needs or emotions more easily, in the light and detached presence of a competent person. I actually felt happily ‘light’ and safe reading even with acquaintances, little influenced by what I already knew about them…I hope to be of help, with my experience, also to those who want to embark on this fascinating ‘journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and a hug. “

Marta, Bergamo

“For those unfamiliar with this world or who view it with a certain scepticism, as is often the case with most new proposals, you can rest assured that we are not talking about fortune-telling or other such disciplines. What Carlo and Sara try to pass on to as many people as possible with so much effort, sacrifice and trust is a discipline that I would personally call a real World. The passion and intellectual sincerity that envelops Carlo as he explains and the serenity, almost blissfulness, that surrounds Sara, make it clear that this is not a strange or fanciful matter but a tangible reality that each of us, with some sacrifice and trust, can experience. Entire books could be written to try to get the message across to as many people as possible, but I don’t think it would do any good for those who are not willing to come out of their shells; and think that the beauty lies in this, because right from the first meeting one can understand what the Tarot is all about (and then, possibly, go into the subject in greater depth). For those who wish to contact me: di.pass@libero.it “

Diego, Padua

“When I started the course on the Major Arcana, it was not a good time in my life; the subject and the human warmth of Sara and Carlo have enriched me; their seriousness and reliability remove any possible doubts on the seemingly ‘strange’ subject. I have continued and will continue to take courses and enjoy finding the meanings and images of the Tarot in many readings seemingly distant from that ‘world’. Let me give an example, if I may: I ‘found’ the ‘Maison Dieu’ card in a book of interviews with Carl G. Jung. Here is the passage: ‘Jung once tried to make me understand that we should not feel guilty about events beyond our control. ‘They are like acts of God,’ he said. “Consider them in the same way as a building struck by lightning; that too is an act of God”(…). (from “Jung speaks,” ed. Adelphi, 1995, Milan, p. 210). See you soon’

Francesca, Lucca

“Attending the Tarot Academy I discovered in the Tarot a fantastic tool for introspection, an aid, an advice to get inside myself and realign external events to my deepest feelings. What surprised and interested me was the didactic structure and the almost scientific precision in learning a language that was new to me. With the Method that is taught, it is easy to get a precise reading: right from the start, the results are surprising. Initially I experienced it for myself and now I am practising with readings even to sceptical people who, some time after the consultation, confirm to me that they have received help or an unlocking thanks to the reading itself.”

Valeria, Lecco

“A comment can certainly help the sceptics to take a less superficial and snobbish approach to these cards. Perhaps the right way is to make it clear that tarot images are sacred, like those of saints. For this, they deserve the utmost respect. Many people become convinced of the validity of tarot cards only after you have shown them the extent to which they can see your life to give you the right advice. This is the task of us tarologists, even novices like me: not to err in interpretation by falling into the subjective but to try to apply the rules that lead to an objective reading. Greetings to all.

Cesare, Bologna

‘Tarology…? A new approach, a journey into my soul, where every step was fascinating and pieces of awareness magically emerged! Thank you Carlo! For me you have been a teacher and today a very special Friend!

Andreana, Bologna

“I approached this course because I had always been intrigued by the meaning of the symbols proposed in the Tarot, a bit like a picture puzzle book where you could play at finding references to this or that, which I never found in the various material that came my way where the meanings of the various cards were listed a bit like things to buy on a shopping note, never explaining why, which was the thing that interested me the most. In this course I found what I was looking for, as for each card the link between the image and its various meanings was illustrated with logical and linear reasoning and references that, in my own small way, I was able to find. This led me to discover that each Tarot card has numerous meanings and carries within it many references, many more than the apparent simplicity of the stroke used to draw them might suggest. The reading part, for me, had a secondary fascination compared to the study of symbols, but the method of reading that was hinted at intrigued me but at the same time left me somewhat sceptical. Initial scepticism, however, soon gave way to evidence as, during the didactic readings, I saw patterns of cards unfold before my eyes. These patterns reproduced the stories that the consultant spontaneously told, but especially when, at my first reading after the end of the workshop, I found in the opening cards the characters proposed by the consultant’s story, reported with their characteristic traits that could only be a picture of them.

Nello, Naples

“I attended and concluded with great commitment the four Tarot learning workshops conducted by Carlo Bozzelli. After about a year, Carlo gave us the licence to ‘do damage’ by reading the Arcana to friends and acquaintances. My first reading, almost as a joke, prompted me to tell the friend who asked me his question what the cards suggested and which I translated as from another language. We laughed to his question whether it was right to cultivate a relationship with a recently met woman. I told him that there was no relational possibility in sight. Not even a day had passed and I received a call from my friend telling me that I was absolutely right because he had heard from reliable sources that he had no chance. What can I say? You can’t even play with Tarot! It is so true, so simple, so immediate and so timely as to induce awe and wonder. Carlo always told us that in order to understand their language, one must return to the innocence of children. The Tarot is objective and only our egoic, or selfish, personality prevents us from listening to it and understanding it in its simplicity and truth. What a lesson!! What a great catharsis! What a transformation the Tarot imposes on anyone who wishes to study, interpret and know it. Carlo told us, right from the start, not to be in a hurry, to “hasten slowly” into this infinite Universe of the Tarot because in order to understand its Wisdom, it is necessary to prepare oneself and clean oneself of the heavy and cumbersome armour of “Personality” that prevents the Soul from understanding their simplicity and expressing itself in the same way. I am grateful to him, I thank him for the precious gift and especially for introducing me to this old and eternal child that is the Tarot. I only hope I am worthy of your eternal friendship.

Antonio, Rome

“Dear Sara and Carlo, through you I am learning about the secret and wonderful world of Tarot reading…I had no idea they were so fascinating, I am happy to have met you. Thank you and a hug! See you soon.”

Paola, Rome

“My meeting with the Tarot was ‘predestined’ as the last available seat for April’s Major Arcana 1 course only became free the day before it started. I arrived at the course with the instinctive certainty that this would be the right approach to the marvellous world of the Tarot, which Carlo taught us to look at with the respectful eyes of a child, without however neglecting the history and part of the more complex and archetypal symbolism. But the most beautiful thing that this course has left me with is the memory of an experience shared with a group of hitherto unknown people, who decided to strip away their prejudices to read/read their souls through a new and objective key. Thanks again to Carlo whose prompt and effective dialectic made our journey easier.”

Valentina and little Viola who followed the course from intrauterine life, Rome

“Dear friends, I really need to thank you for the Tarot course, which I started only by chance and curiosity, and which has opened up a parallel view of things in my soul. It is as if everything had more depth and my gaze embraced a wider and even more colourful horizon. First of all, finding such a humble and patient teacher is truly a rarity. Usually those who teach assume that they know more than the apprentice and they make a big deal out of this assumption. Whereas Carlo, like the Star, bows with affection towards our hunger for knowledge without judging us, indeed teaching us precisely this: not to judge ourselves nor others but to measure everything with Love. The Tarot for me today is the beginning of a journey of Love that I hope will lead me to improve myself and help others to do the same. I must say that I also had a lot of fun: both on a cultural and human level. The group in which I participated united around Carlo and Sara and continued undaunted with almost no defections until the end. We laughed, we were moved, we were amazed. Sara’s presence, full of grace, comforted us in moments of fatigue: seeing you together fills our hearts with smiles. So thank you to the teacher. And thanks also to the Tarot, which accompanies me every day in my reflections and which I hope to use each time with more and more insight and introspection.”

Bruna, Rome

“I started the Tarot courses in February 2010 and I have to say that they represented for me the beginning of a phase of inner healing, a spiritual journey that I am still doing within myself through the images of the Arcana. I enrolled almost by chance, through the site, knowing only Jodorowsky’s fame, but the teacher’s preparation, friendliness and helpfulness immediately drew me in and opened the doors to the world of tarology. If anyone would like to contact me for further information, my e-mail address is: lauraluccoborlera@yahoo.it.

Laura, Turin

“A wonderful path that opens the doors of one’s soul and at the same time a magnificent energy whose primary purpose is not the prediction of the future but one’s own growth and loving help to others. To contact me: eric.ciman@alice.it. “

Eric, Verona

“I am very demanding when looking for a seminar: this is the age of vanity, incompetence and approximation. I loved the Tarot Academy courses for several reasons. For the absence of crowds: small groups of just a few people attend. This allows for a streamlined interaction with the teacher and the other students. Each participant has the opportunity to intervene and clarify his or her doubts, if any. Tarot is approached with intimacy and politeness. For the great effectiveness of the method and teaching: I have always preferred teachers who are able to focus their attention on the content, who can resist the hedonistic temptation to show off by exhibiting their biceps. Knowing how to step aside is a very rare quality, as is the ability to lead a group and to create an affable atmosphere that properly seals the learning process. For value for money: regularly bringing home a salary is a great privilege these days. The concept of excellence, in my view, also passes through that of fair price. It is for all these things, and for the love of Tarot shared with other students and the teacher, that I am a student of this Academy.”

Giovanni, Venice

“Training course of real depth capable of lifting the veil on the authentic knowledge of the Tarot. The lessons, always conducted with seriousness and courtesy, offer not only the faculty of using a wise and sacred tool, but also a cultural enrichment and the stimulus to a more attentive inner research.”

Barbara, Rome

“I arrived at the Tarot Academy ‘by chance’ and to tell the truth even a little hesitant and sceptical. I consoled myself with the idea that at most I would learn some strange esoteric symbol. Yet after only six months and these premises, today I never leave home without a pack of cards in my pocket. And even if I have not attended dozens of courses around the world or read mountains of books on the subject, when I met Carlo and Sara I immediately realised that there was no need to look elsewhere. One knows when life has led him to a pure Source. How? One immediately feels satiated, happy and immensely grateful. As if the ocean were trying to enter a glass.. And you feel like laughing… like crying… Frankly, for me, there is no better place where you can learn the great message of the Tarot, even if you think it is not there… where you can listen to its advice, even if you think you don’t need it… where you can be embraced by its Love, even if you imagine that the cards cannot be such a powerful vehicle… where you can be guided by its wisdom, even if you cannot imagine how boundless it is…”

Davide, Pisa

“After the first Tarot reading with Carlo I had the feeling that someone had opened a window and clean air had come in. So I started attending courses and embarked on this extraordinary path that gives me an ever-increasing awareness and supports me energetically in my daily life. I recommend it to everyone who is looking for… “

Elena, Bergamo

“The encounter with the Tarot was magical, I was in serious difficulty over a decision to be made and didn’t know what to do. One day I met Carlo by chance and had my Tarot read. From that moment on, I felt that my life was being flooded with an incredible beneficial energy that could not only help me but also help others. That is how I began this wonderful path of studying Tarot, which not only allows me to progress spiritually but also supports me to fulfil the deepest desire of my soul, to help others through this tool. I advise everyone, even the most sceptical, to follow these courses, whose scientific connotation makes the teaching impeccable and marked by extraordinary logic and objectivity.”

Barbara, Bergamo

“I would like to give my testimony on Carlo Bozzelli’s tarology courses. I have found great professionalism, experience and a seriousness that has something of the unadulterated honesty that some people of the past had. This is due to the person of Carlo and that of his partner, Sara. You learn the teaching of a true method to understand the reading of the Tarot cards that contain, read and explain every question, no matter how big or small, regarding all facets of our lives. Carlo has this knowledge and teaches it to you without keeping anything for himself. His goal is for you to understand as much as possible. All this is done with great humility. In reality it is or can be, depending on how each of us wants to take it, a spiritual and esoteric path, perhaps the most esoteric and complete one I know. The atmosphere that one breathes and that I have breathed on the courses is serene, there is a great openness that predisposes one to dialogue. At the end of the courses, whose fees are very honest, you have in your hands an incredible tool to understand yourself, understand others if you wish, and above all to have concrete answers to our questions and problems. On Carlo’s part there is an assistance that goes beyond the courses precisely because of his great nature as a teacher. I still thank him for what he taught me and for the help he and Sara continue to give me.”

Teresa, Parma

“There is always the contribution of chance, to make time more precious.” I happened to write this sentence in a book I gave to my wife “another man ago”. In fact, on the occasion of an anniversary, I wanted to make her a present, but did not know how to orientate myself. As time ran out, I was on a trip to Rome and during an evening stroll, I was struck by the window of an antique shop: on a precious inlaid table sat a book, of cooking recipes, in English. My wife at that time was taking a cookery course and trying to keep her English language skills sharp (perhaps so as not to disfigure herself too much with her relatives living in London). At the time, I did not know that that ‘chance’ is a phenomenon of synchronicity, as I was to discover much later, thanks to my path with the Tarot. I believe that the encounter with the Tarot itself can be traced back to the same phenomenon. In fact, I went through various new cognitive investigations to satisfy my eagerness to ‘grow up’, to realise even that man that work could not give me. Many readings oriented towards the awakening of the spirit, from Eastern philosophy to Sufism and magic. After a couple of birthdays, when old friends no longer knew what books to give, Jodorowsky came into my hands. Having seen all his films (I found some editions with his commentary), was like taking a medicine; having read his eccentric stories, a pleasant pastime; discovering the Tarot de Marseille, set me on a path that would change my life, I think not only mine. I presented myself at the first Minor Arcana course with all the prejudices of the ignorant. However, I arrived at the two-day finish line, savouring again the sensations of the finish line of my first marathon: tired but amazed to have found a route that would temper, in this case not the body, but the spirit. Thanks to the didactic path provided by Carlo, I discovered a metaphysical machine that synthesises the interests I have been cultivating for some time, particularly with the possibility of finalising ‘the treasure’: my growth can be useful to others! I think it is the best flower I have cultivated to date, since I have renounced the experience of fatherhood, which I feel is comparable to what I am experiencing. Fortunately, I have great imperfections to work on (‘whu do you want to be perfect, you may want to die?’, Carlo reminds us in his programme), but the enormous discovery of being able to work and live in the everyday and balance the four energy planes I owe to the Tarot. After plumbing the jungle of energetic knowledge as a self-taught student, the school of Tarot took me by the hand, showing me a very clear and not at all dispersive path. I think I will have to constantly honour “my case” for this.

Aurilio, Piacenza

“My passion for the Tarot has led me down various paths and training routes. At the beginning, naively, I believed that one Tarot deck was worth the other and that is how, by chance, I started using the Waite Tarot. I attended a few seminars, I used them, I also had satisfaction, but over time I perceived that there was something incomplete in their structure, that much relied on the intuitive abilities of the fortune teller. And so it was that my search for something more sophisticated and magical led me to approach the Tarot de Marseille and Carlo Bozzelli. I immediately realised that a new, important road was about to open up. It was not easy, I admit, the notions were many, the variables even more so. This fascinating and mysterious universe seemed difficult for me to conquer. However, Carlo, with his professionalism, simplicity and humanity, took us by the hand, step by step, and now, less than a year after the first seminar, I use the Tarot de Marseille with joy and almost with ease. But the most beautiful thing about this spiritual path is the change they bring about in our lives. The Tarot allows you to embark on a wonderful journey, in search of ourselves and love for others.”

Angela, Pistoia

“I would like to suggest to those who are looking at this site and to those who feel guilty for having made this click victim of old and insane prejudices of low rank, to consider themselves lucky to have arrived here and to have been kissed by a special good fortune to have at this point the opportunity to participate in one of these fantastic courses that, at the age of 50, help you to awaken your slumbering and no longer fitness-trained mind and perhaps, for the more serious cases, to understand many things that were sleeping inside us, also thanks to these wonderful meetings between special people (who still want to know and learn, to better understand themselves first and then help others). If this stimulates you, my most sincere advice is to start attending Carlo Bozzelli’s courses and let yourself go completely into his arms as if you were having a relaxing and beneficial massage… only that the beneficiary of this treatment will not be your body but your mind, which many of us neglect, because we always think first of the physical and external part while what saves you and makes you live well is the most noble part…. we are waiting for you among us to discover what it is…”

Massimo, Bologna

“My feedback… five stars! If you feel drawn to the Tarot, this course/path to reading the Symbols contained in the Arcana is so powerful that it will make you abandon any previously used deck…The price? When I think of the money I have spent on other Tarot courses…. there is no comparison, this workshop worths them all! Sincerely,

Gabriele, Bologna

“For all those who thirst for knowledge, the beginning of the study of tarology is indicated. With the support of an adequate teaching, the level of knowledge regarding this subject (it is a science) expands considerably, until one realises how much it can be of considerable help in raising one’s level of self-knowledge and evolution. The Tarot is a figurative book; it is remarkably interesting to observe the icons of the arcana, finding their analogies and differences. One will eventually come to understand the incredible vastness of the subject and how stimulating it is to research and learn.”

Bruno, Lucca

“Nothing happens by chance. I came to this school by destiny and instinct, having grown up on bread and tarot cards from a mother who had always used this tool. I did not even believe there could be a school in Italy, so, lacking teaching, I slipped self-taught among many books, in particular on Jodorowsky’s book “The Way of the Tarot”, finding it marvellous. Life, unpredictable as ever, took my mother away from me prematurely and a few months after her passing, I was looking for an anchor to cling to. Only with time and the study of Tarot I understood how Arcane XIII works. Nothing happens by chance and I received an email from the school informing me that the first course on the Major Arcana would start in Bologna. I phoned and my presence made the difference on the quorum of participants allowing the course to start. The experience of the first day is still etched in me, strong, as if it were today, even though two years have passed. Now, as then, with each new course I feel the same enthusiasm. Nothing happens by chance and at the moment when I was searching for the ‘Way’, the Tarot cards appeared, always unconsciously known; they were there, ready to reveal themselves. It was the right moment. I was struck by Professor Bozzelli from the very first phone call, his voice slipped from my ears to my belly and his words opened a crack in my heart that said ‘trust me’. I liked Carlo’s teaching from the start and over time I was able to appreciate his growth in terminology and syntax. With the use of elementary words, he taught me the images of the Arcana, explaining their structure and meaning, exactly as a Master teaches a child to form the letters of a new alphabet, letters that became words, then sentences, and finally grammar and speeches; always ready to fully reveal his esoteric, religious and humanistic knowledge, without reticence to the questions of the students. Thanks to him, I realised that studying the Tarot is a path of life, a cyclical way into which the human soul pours, a silent book that speaks in images, a sacred tool that we can learn to play by learning to ‘see’ the music that comes from within, by resonating with the inner music of others. The Tarot is the advice, the School, the medium that is helping me to decipher it to broaden my vision, knowledge, intuition so that I can then share this knowledge by becoming the voice through which the Tarot can express itself. I can only say THANK YOU to the Tarot, to the seriousness of the method, to the professionalism and to the attention of Carlo and his sweet assistant Sara; thank you for having supported and guided me so far (and in the future) along this Path that I feel is mine and that I hope will become a path of growth for many”.

Isabelle, Bologna

“When I started my path, I was very surprised about the approach taken by the Academy. It was precisely this kind of approach that gave me the confidence to approach the Tarot. It is hard to explain how over time, through personal readings and consultations with others, one learns to enter into this new and surprising point of view, in which knowledge of the future simply ceases to be of interest because more and more one acquires the splendid awareness that, the future, does not really exist: we manufacture it, in this one real time that is the eternal and full present.”

Irene, Pietrasanta

“I have attended and continue to attend Tarot Academy Courses and Seminars for: – the serene environment that the teacher and his collaborator know how to create; – the method used in the study and reading of tarot cards; – rigorousness and preparation on the topics being addressed; – clarity of presentation that facilitates learning.

Francesco, Padua

“Until two years ago, two words were enough to describe my relationship with the tarot: ignorance and scepticism. I had to take the first step on my own path: to realise that these two false friends cannot be travelling companions. Never. The main obstacle for anyone starting a journey is always the same, for everyone: realising that a journey is necessary. That one cannot stand still forever, because then, sooner or later, one falls at the mercy of the two false friends (who are very patient, and always waiting for us…). One has to move. You can do it alone, but in company it is better. One proceeds perhaps not faster, but with the certainty of not going in the wrong direction. That is why it is essential to choose a good travelling companion, preferably someone who already knows the route ahead of us and can guide us. My encounter with Carlo and the Academy was basically this: the choice of a travelling companion. A travelling companion recommended by other friends already on the way, and for this reason welcomed with joy and trust. When I was still in the company of my two false friends, to anyone who had described a tarological teaching to me using terms such as ‘scientific rigour’, ‘rationality’ or even ‘mathematics’, I would surely have laughed in their faces. Today, after just one year of walking, although there are still many stages ahead of me, I can at least say this to those who have not yet set out: don’t laugh! The precision and absolute objectivity of this tool called Tarot can be compared to Pythagorean theorems … and of the hypotenuse it is not that one can question its existence! (If anything, we may find that geometry is not for us, but that is another story…). Unfortunately, with regard to the Tarot, centuries of distorted information that have given rise to prejudice and mistrust cannot be erased in a heartbeat, at least not by standing still! One must set out on the path of knowledge and only then judge. I wish all future walkers to find a faithful, humble and sincere travelling companion, as I did, and who knows, one day we will all find each other on the way! Have a good trip

Paolo, Lucca

I got to know Carlo’s seminars by chance (or perhaps chance had nothing to do with it… I was simply led)… I had been searching the Internet for several years for a course in tarot card reading because I wanted to get closer to this wonderful world that has always intrigued and fascinated me, accompanied by an expert who could introduce me to what tarotology really is. Despite my stubbornness, however, I never found anything…nothing that came close to what I was looking for. This, and I only realised this later, was because there was nothing really suitable for me (and not because there was no material on the net for courses). When I met Carlo and Sara (his wonderful partner and assistant) a new world opened up to me. A world of knowledge, of research, of answers. I began a journey that I would describe as exciting, which, meeting after meeting, gave me a new charge… I entered a world that many people, seeing it from the outside, define as somewhere between charlatan and dangerous… But there is nothing charlatan or dangerous about it. The whole thing can be summed up in these words: Carlo with his teachings does not impose but simply transmits his knowledge. He teaches you what he has already learnt, he brings forward knowledge… With him I have learnt many things… and many I have yet to learn. “I am thirsty for knowledge”.. Every time I finish a course… I can’t wait to start another one. And last but not least, through the courses I have met a lot of really extraordinary people. Life stories of women who have crossed paths with mine and left something really important behind. Each one in her own small way has left me something really great. And all this… thanks to the Accademia dei Tarocchi, to Carlo, to Sara. Thank you, really thank you.”

Valeria, Sondrio

“I approached the Tarot because I knew nothing about it, I ignored the meaning, almost out of curiosity!!!!. I followed the path of knowledge, I rediscovered first a great inner help and then a help to others….this is the true meaning of life. Thank you Carlo, I love you.”

Anna, Brescia

“My name is Sara and with this comment I would like to tell you about my experience with the Tarot. It all started a bit as a game, a bit out of curiosity; I have always been attracted, ever since I was a child, by these strange ‘cards’, some a bit disturbing, others reassuring, but I have never had the courage to study them also because, unfortunately, there are too many people who speculate on them, who take advantage of people’s problems to beguile them. One afternoon, while surfing the Internet, I accidentally opened the school’s website…I was actually looking for something else and was surprised to see that there is a school where they teach you the language of tarot! And since I don’t believe in chance I immediately phoned! Carlo answered me and, with his great patience, explained how the courses were run and removed any doubts I had. I signed up and my adventure in the world of tarot began! I think I am lucky to have met Carlo because he taught me that the Tarot cards are not just printed cards but have a story, they have a soul, somehow they are alive, they should be respected for the great opportunity they give us when they ‘speak’ to us! They have become my best friends, they advise and help me. But the best thing is that I finally found a way to help others. It is magic, beautiful magic. When I finish a consultation, I know I have done something important, something extremely serious… I am only a medium that has a voice because the cards, if you learn to know them, are what expresses the message. ”

Sara, Turin

“The encounter with the Tarot de Marseille through Carlo’s masterly mediation was a fantastic experience, which fitted perfectly into my path of spiritual deepening. Everything came about thanks to that case-that-is-not-a-case and I am extremely happy to have grasped the possibility that was opening up to me. Through his example, Carlo also contributed to the group’s desire to collaborate, to meet on other occasions, to help each other… perfectly in line with the concept of the All in the One and the One in the All that I also found in the Arcana. I am deeply grateful for this gift of life.”

Laura, Bologna

“I started the Tarot de Marseille course almost by chance, out of curiosity. I knew that fortune-tellers must ‘feel’ what comes from the cards, rely on a mysterious sixth sense, and for me, a convinced ‘Saint Thomas’, all this was completely unfounded. What I love about this course, of which I have just finished the initial cycle, is precisely its absolute scientificity and precision. There are laws and rules to be respected and applied, with rigour and seriousness. We are not in Cartomancy, in fact, but in Tarology, which is indeed a science. Everything is taught with absolute precision, clarity, patience and humility. And while remaining in the exact science, I have more than once remained open-mouthed in front of the ‘small miracles’ that I have witnessed and of which it is useless to speak at length: if they had told them to me, I would never have believed them. So I can only recommend, to those who have even the slightest curiosity, to do as I did and start with the first meeting…..you will find yourself on an evolutionary and sacred path that your heart and soul will find hard to leave.”

Emma, Rome

“The Tarot study course was done by my wife Maria and I in a kind of symbiosis. At the beginning, although stimulated by our thirst for knowledge, we approached the course with a series of doubts and perplexities. Cartomancy, predictions of the future, various games, personal interpretations, as well as the often incorrect use of it, had led us into a minefield. So the mood of the first approach was certainly that. But from the very first meeting we realised that it was about something else. It was about the recovery of ancient knowledge that would almost have been lost. And above all, we were struck by the profound preparation of Carlo Bozzelli, the founder of this Academy. He took us gently by the hand and accompanied us on this fascinating, if sometimes difficult, path, but nonetheless one of profound spirituality. As we progressed along the path, we realised that the Tarot (real name for the icons) was much more than a series of images. In it were represented the vicissitudes of mankind, ancient symbolism, the subtle energy emanating from the cards, as well as a firm invitation to self-improvement. Carlo always told us that the Tarot path is an initiatory path leading to the Stars. This is a profound truth. The invitation is to detach oneself from material things and set off on an incredible journey towards the soul and its subtle world. To do a reading to another person is to communicate soul to soul, to take them by the hand and lead them to purer and more refined dimensions. It is an alchemical process of transformation, permeated by a thin veil of magic. It sounds incredible and in some ways it is! I conclude by saying that for Maria and me it was an experience that opened up new perspectives on life and a greater confidence in our existential choices”.

Antonio e Maria, Sanremo

“I am a professional astrologer who uses symbols every day. My goal when I enrolled in the course was to learn a new symbolic language. I never doubted the power of the Tarot, but I was amazed, surprised, moved by the precision of this language. With Carlo’s teaching method, the doors of self-understanding and thus the possibility of personal development are open to everyone who enters with a pure heart.”

Luiza, Rome

“I have a wonderful memory of my encounter with both the Tarot and Carlo. They disclosed to me a totally unexpected world, which nothing led me to delegate to the irrational and to fatality, but consolidated in me the need for cognitive rigour and inner freedom, revealing the Magic present in everyday life and in the apparently random occurrence of events. It was the acquisition of a tool for investigating my immediate life and myself, which stimulated my intuitive faculties by providing them with a tool for a more rigorous and conscious confrontation. I am particularly grateful to Carlo for his extraordinary mediation with this method of investigation that comes to us from a very distant time, but that perhaps only today can express all the potential it contains, in full accord with our vocation for self-awareness. Unforgettable remains the atmosphere and affection established between the participants in the courses where, for my part, I established deep friendships. Participation in further studies has become a requirement for me.”

Irene, Florence

Invitation to Travel: “I invite you on a journey to that country that is so like you. The languid suns of its clouded skies have for my spirit the enchantment of your eyes when they shine dimly. There, all is order and beauty, calm and voluptuousness; the world falls asleep in a warm light of hyacinth and gold. Lazily sleeping are the wandering vessels that have come from every border to satisfy your desires. “Le matin j’ecoutais les sons du jardin les langage des parfums des fleurs.” (quote: Franco Battiato). For me, the Tarot is a wonderful journey. Perhaps to give greater importance to a subject like the Tarot, which is mistreated or misinterpreted, would require redundant words; instead I choose simplicity. I am happy to have embarked on this spiritual path, which is gradually proving to be more and more surprising because of all the possible associations with other disciplines. It ranges, for example, from myth to legend, it considers different religions and philosophies and does so in a fascinating way. All of this is told with the simplicity (which I mentioned earlier) of a teacher who defines himself as a go-between, a ferryman between us and the Tarot, who with great professionalism and love knows how to transmit the right meaning that must be given to this study… I would have a thousand words to say to recount every imperceptible or greater change that my life has been able to savour after the discovery of this world, rational in technique but with a magical and unfathomable touch for everything that has happened to me. I live this new experience, as every time I have approached a new knowledge, with extreme gratitude and with the awareness of widening the boundaries of my mind a little more, of understanding more fully the meanings of love and death and, most important of all, the role of my body as a container for a soul eager to evolve further. Thank you.”

Bianca, Turin

“I expected, when I enrolled in the basic Major Arcana 1 course a year and a half ago, an organic and structured teaching that would allow me to orient myself in the world of Tarot symbolism, a field of energy that has interested me and whose power and fascination I have felt since I was very young. In reality, I found much more than this: the Academy’s approach and method not only offered me high quality teaching, which fully satisfied my cognitive needs, arranging this vast millenary knowledge in a vast and articulated historical and theoretical framework, but also provided the opportunity to deepen a path of knowledge and inner evolution that was renewed with each successive course. In short, it is a very enriching experience that I recommend to anyone interested in self-knowledge and helping others.”

Silvia, Perugia

“During the reading, that particular moment when the cards are placed on the table and the question is asked, a wonderful ‘dialogue’ begins there. Between myself, wondering which is the ‘right’ question to ask and how to ask it; between myself and the person in front of me, when, after having expressed my doubts aloud, we talk about ourselves, we ask questions of the other person… sometimes words are few, then it is the intonation of the voice, the gestures, the gaze that tell the other person about themselves. The dialogue is also internal when I look at the figures and they convey feelings that turn into emotions and thoughts. So what makes TAROT special and different from fortune-telling? They LISTEN, they teach me to listen, they do not pretend to know and say everything about me or the other person. They have the grace of expectation, they offer and do not impose. They open up possibilities, leaving me free to choose. I don’t know about you but for me, having an energy with these characteristics next to me makes me breathe better and more. A hug,

Carmen, Bergamo

“I cannot say exactly why or when I approached the Tarot; it was a gradual thing and as I got to know it, I felt that the Tarot was a science that did not go against but included all the others that try to shed light on the subtlest world… What struck me was not so much the divinatory aspect nor the desire to use them for other people but the fact that they indicated a true path of personal evolution and expansion of one’s consciousness. At a certain point I realized that I could no longer go it alone, so I searched the sea of the net for a guide and ‘chance’ led me to meet Carlo Bozzelli, founder of the Academy of Tarot. I followed all the courses held by him climbing the various levels of knowledge, the Tarot became an integral part of my life, guiding my choices and now I also use it with other people trying to help them overcome their problems and difficulties, because I understood that reading is a necessary step for knowledge and evolution on the path of the Tarot. In Carlo I found a very well-prepared person, with a profound knowledge of this very ancient science, I found not only a great teacher but also a true man and a profound friend.”

Alberto, Bologna

“I have been passionate about Tarot for many years but had never found the right way to study it. One day I heard about Carlo and without thinking much I immediately called him. After a long phone conversation with him I was more than convinced that I wanted to start my path of inner growth with the Tarot. I did the Course in a city far from mine but I did not regret having invested money and time. The Academy of Tarot gave me everything I had been looking for years. The teacher, Carlo, is an exquisite person who uses simple words, has infinite patience and gentle ways of explaining everything about this fascinating world. After only a few months, I am able to read the cards to interesting people and when I receive positive feedback I am really happy as a clam. The Tarot teaches me many things, it has changed my life in a positive way. One should always look into it because it is a tool with infinite resources and it helps one to see more clearly in confusing and dark moments. To all those who are considering taking courses at the Academy of Tarot, I can highly recommend them and surely…they will not be disappointed. At this point I would like to thank Carlo and Sara for everything: for their courtesy, helpfulness, fairness and understanding. We are like one big family and it is nice when you speak the same language! Obviously, I look forward to meeting up and continuing with the further development!”

Tanja, Prato

“I signed up for the course because I knew there was a different philosophy behind it and I found myself ‘passionate’ about everything. The ‘blame’ for all this lies with Carlo who manages to communicate in a direct, clear and engaging way even the most difficult things or the most subtle connections. I am a trainer and am very critical of other colleagues (of any subject) when I am a learner, but I must say that in this case I have nothing to criticise. The course is well constructed and makes you grow exponentially, giving you the tools bit by bit so you can use them properly.”

Roberta, Ravenna

“The path I took certainly began at the beginning out of tuning in or simple epidermal sympathy for the teacher (and here I could write at length and only well about Carlo and Sara’s correctness and moral high ground). But precisely in keeping with this intrinsic quality, I am sure it would almost be an insult to speak of the “medium” and not the “instrument.” Perhaps out of politeness or perhaps because I am aware that I have no “paranormal” or “psychic” qualities, a rational approach characterises me in my studies of what is considered esotericism, in its negative sense, by the academic world. This is not to deny that there are people who, simply by touching a hand or looking at a card, are able to tune in at a deep level with energy currents and perceive past and/or future events; I only admit that I am not and never will be like that. Delving into the language of the Tarot also means aligning oneself with the rationality of thought, and as one delves deeper into the language and codes of the Tarot, one understands that it is a true “privileged channel”, towards the inner Self and towards, for those who believe in it, a superior Mind, which respects our need to be rational beings to the point of providing us with both a vocabulary and educators (rather than teachers) of a universal language, the image. The image, today more than ever, has become the most powerful form of communication in our society: it communicates quickly and directly and does not need lengthy study, like writing, to be understood, because our own inner world (dreams, fantasies) is wallpapered with images. This is what studying at the Academy is for me: a dignification of my rational side and at the same time a point of contact with the Great Rational Mind that made up the entire Universe of mathematical rules.”

Carla, Rimini

“Carlo…your beautiful Words moved me to tears…I hold you in high esteem because you use your wonderful Gift to help people who are suffering and in difficulty. Thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of myself and them. You really make this world a better world; what could be more beautiful? “

Chiara, Bergamo

“I was moved by such frankness, honesty and purity of spirit. You, Carlo, are compassion and empathy and there is no better guide than people who can demonstrate such sensitivity. One could immediately sense, from the way you spoke, how much love you feel for each other and that is precisely why we need people like you so much to guide us in this Life. And surely you are a true Angel sent to us on Earth to fulfil this mission… there are few people with whom I have shared such an intense experience as I have, so pure and authentic. Thanks to you, I will certainly know how to make the right choices to create a Life of peace and serenity for myself. “

Concetta, Barcelona

“You are a precious person, veterinary is already a vocation but choosing the path of Tarology is a very high thing…not fortune teller or ‘magician’ but Tarologist…it is only right that you first emphasise the difference because yours are not just words or readings but are lights on a path. In the past I have known fortune-tellers who, with feigned modesty, believed themselves to be demigods. This is pure blasphemy and that is why, believe me, I have faith in you; not as a tarologist only but as a guide. If you want, in some ways, to know that you have fallen and limp, but having a pure person ‘by your side’ brings you closer to being able to walk again…Thank you.”

Fabrizio, Ovada

“Since the Tarot of Marseille came into my life, I have learnt to trust and rely on something greater…Thank you Carlo for dedicating your life to this wonderful Art and congratulations also for the site!”

Paola, Barga

“The experience of the seminars with Carlo was wonderful for me, I enjoyed it so much that once I had done the first course, I chose to take the next ones as well. The history of the Tarot, the symbolism in it, the connection to ancient civilisations, fascinated me so much that I couldn’t wait for the next seminar to come to learn more. Certainly, this experience gave me a different view and teaching on tarot reading and led me to discover a world unknown to me. Thank you.”

Mary, San Marino

“I would like to congratulate and thank Professor Bozzelli for the skill with which he managed to guide us on a dense and complex path within the world of the Tarot. Despite the difficulty of the topics covered, the professor always knew how to find the simplest words and the clearest and most effective images to convey profound and fascinating knowledge and to enable us to embark on an authentic path of spiritual growth.”

Paolo, Massa Carrara

“The course, undertaken out of curiosity and to accompany my friend, who was much more interested than me, was a revelation: from the content, to the teaching. All of it a unique professionalism, increasingly rare in these fields. After the basic course, the advanced course, the readings, the minor arcana and still the course continues. Tarot is now part of my life, it really is a counsellor for me and, with my limitations, also for others through the readings. Thank you Carlo for having ‘initiated’ me, because it really is only the beginning…….The way is long but I can’t wait to continue along it. Thank you Sara, you really are an example of authenticity…And thank you both for your ‘LOVE’. A hug. ”

Loretta, Bergamo

“I had long been intrigued by the Tarot and wanted to learn more about it; I had read a few books but the information given remained an end in itself: I could not put it into practice, i.e. I did not understand how to use it, how to do a reading. By attending Carlo’s seminars, I found what I was looking for: a truly simple, straightforward and above all credible method of practical use. I also realised that the Tarot, if properly interpreted, is not just a tool for divination, but a metaphor for our lives. Since then they have become trusted companions for me. “

Sandro, Bologna

“What a beautiful evening last night… I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere other than where I was, together with you… albeit virtually (but are we sure it was a virtual meeting and not a real meeting of souls?). Time flew by just as it does when you are doing something you enjoy. Each one of us was at home, in front of his computer… But to me it seemed as if I had you all at home, around me, together with me sharing a beautiful thing, a passion that unites us, that for the Tarot. I went to bed happy and full of energy…In fact, after two hours I was already awake and remained wide-eyed until morning! I was kept company by the Tarot characters that kept running through my mind, I imagined questions and draws, cards upright and upside down, looks and solutions…. I am truly happy to be part of this Academy and to have been, together with you, a pioneer of this online ‘experiment’ which, I would say, has been perfectly successful! Again, thank you for the energy you have transmitted to me with your voice, thank you for sharing a fragment of your life with me, thank you because I have felt you truly close. I have here beside me a book dedicated to the life and ‘prodigies’ of that great personage who was Gustavo Rol. I conclude and greet you with this phrase of his: “The important thing is that man realises that the Marvelous exists and that he wants to access it.” I think we are on the right track…. A fraternal embrace and a thought of Light to you all.”

Piercarlo, Montecatini

“Still full of gratitude for your teachings and for the grace and generosity with which you revealed to us the true essence of the Tarot this weekend. Fortunate are those who, like me, have been able to enjoy it and fortunate are those who will be able to do so in the future. I finally understood why the Tarot remains mysterious or misinterpreted by most: to reveal such a precious mystery you need a Great Master. You, Carlo, are one.”

Daniela, Milano

“With great pleasure I can say that it is much more than a course, it is a path inside us that makes us meet all the aspects of our personality, introduces us to the unconscious and suggests the best. The teacher, Carlo Bozzelli, with purity, dedication, love, passion and respect goes deep inside and opens us up to a new dimension of the Tarot. It is a tool of great depth and help for ourselves and for others.”

Carlotta, Rome

“I have opened a sacred door, I have encountered a tool that I will use in a new way and that has taught me even better self-respect. Perhaps trust is a mirror perhaps it is an achievement however everything will happen by following it!!!”.

Patrizia, Rome

“I often think back to that first magical weekend of meeting the Tarot and you carrying its message, in a polite but decisive manner, conveying to us the seriousness and grandeur of what we were going to study. At the time, I did not even remotely imagine what I would encounter, what privilege I would have in being able to access this knowledge. Two years have now passed and far from being exhausted, on the contrary, the path is becoming more and more interesting and richer in insights and satisfaction, filling that part of spiritual life that is so important to me. In particular, the last course, the Advanced course, really was significant, unforgettable! It is continuous food for thought and research for me. Certainly the amazement and wonder is for the Tarot but the affection and gratitude are for you who have decided to share in your serious and passionate way this great thing.”

Francesca, Padua

“It was an excellent choice that made me think, on a sunny afternoon in Rome, :- “Why not enrol in the Tarot Course?”……. only if I don’t like it I can always interrupt it………..now that it is over, I feel “orphaned” by Carlo and Sara. A world of many details opened up to me, of macrocosm and microcosm; of contacts with the unconscious and the remote, in short….an experience to be lived in all its complex simplicity. Now I feel a bit lost but, the basics have been given to me, the teacher was very good, now it’s my turn! I highly recommend it as a study and life experience!”

Bruna, Rome

I began the journey (because this is what it is) without any preparation or prejudice, simply because I was ‘drawn’ or ‘attracted’ to the Tarot from the presentation in Rome on 31 January of this year. My real inner change came from then on, which was exceptional, as I had never touched a Tarot card in my life. So I immediately realised the power of the tool, understood its potential, and signed up, happy to ‘start’ on a path that would get me to my centre of gravity (or very close to it!), to smooth out my ‘angularities’, to reset my essence where I felt that, although I had been sincerely searching for it for a long time, it continued to elude me. I immediately felt changed: I felt this way even before the course and the physical contact with the cards and their contents. Today, more than nine months later, I can only confirm once again the power and intrinsic power of the Tarot: even if only by studying it, trying to delve into meanings and symbologies that are still quite unknown to me, even if only by drawing the “card of the day”, even if only by reflecting on the meaning of a SINGLE CARD, but with my heart and mind, I feel united (Carlo explained to us the true meaning of Yoga, as union/communion between soul and personality) and I behave and speak as I would never have thought…Sometimes I feel as if it is not me speaking, that someone else is doing it for me. And I will say more: I also feel terribly important and happy when I feel that my word is opening the heart and conscience of someone to whom I am speaking, trying to help them in their difficulties, almost forgetting (or setting aside) my own! I believe in the infinite and eternal value of the Tarot teachings, but I also firmly believe in their intrinsic power, regardless of their knowledge, which only adds visible and tangible content to an energy that comes from afar and would otherwise be inexplicable in itself! If I were to give a friend a gift, I would advise him to approach the Tarot, with the intention of contributing in this way to his personal growth, to his evolution on the road to full knowledge and consciousness of Self, of his true essence and of the immense powers he has in his hands, without knowing it! Thanks to Carlo (without limits) and thanks also to Sara, always close to him and to us, with discretion and dedication! I hope that Tarot will become a truly recognised discipline and that its value and potential will become more widely known, without qualms or prejudices of any kind, which – alas – are still many!

Antonella Maria, Rome

I expected to come out of the Tarot course ready to read the future to anyone who wanted it, but the result was anything but: much, much more satisfying and profound, so much so that I can’t wait for my next Tarot meeting! Right from the start, it becomes clear that everything taught puts the person in a position to change his or her destiny. The Tarot is a precise science, easily understood by anyone, and certainly more useful than a long and intense session of psychoanalysis. The founder of the Academy, Carlo Bozzelli, magnificently explained the history of the Tarot and conveyed to us the knowledge that we can look inside ourselves and direct our lives according to what they show us. Everyone has this potential and this Course teaches a lot, a great deal both to those who know nothing about it and to those who consider themselves expert fortune tellers! Everything I knew about Tarot previously was reset and a new approach, a new way of looking at and ‘feeling’ these fascinating cards, was opened up. At the end of the course the feeling was that I had the helm of my life in my hands and as a guide the Tarot deck ready to steer and surprise me again and again!

Alessandra, Empoli

I crossed the 7 seas; finally the safe harbour: the Tarot. This is how I am living it. The Academy: it works! Sara’s gentle concreteness and Carlo’s love of passing on so much knowledge form a winning combination. During the courses I felt part of a whole that I cannot describe. Perhaps Carlo’s ability to make the student feel important and never neglected; his patience in listening and his great ability to communicate and arouse interest make every minute of the course a new, interesting experience, a strong urge to go on, ever further.

Laura, Rome

A very enriching experience from every point of view and one that is not easy to describe unless you live it in person. The Tarot…..a journey beyond rationality, beyond matter, to get closer to the deepest part of ourselves that incessantly tries to speak to us every day, showing us the right path. The path of the ‘Fool’ that very often we do not want to take because we do not see it, because we are afraid, because we do not trust it, but above all because we do not ‘listen’ to ourselves, we do not listen to our Soul……which is there waiting for us, in the ‘World’… A unique experience of growth and transformation. Thank you, Carlo, for being there and for being the conduit of this great Knowledge.

Luisa, Milan

Just completed Basic Course Major Arcana 1, it was fantastic, more fascinating than expected. BRAVISSIMO Dr. Carlo Bozzelli with in-depth explanations expressed in a very clear way. Congratulations to all….I look forward to the next course!

Lorena, Verona

I realised that the Tarot was a complex and powerful tool from the moment I started to study it as a self-taught student, almost impossible! The Academy gave me the opportunity to get to know him in his innermost essence and to constantly continue to do so. Learning the codes and laws allowed me to understand the non-randomness of the Tarot, but its total expression of the synchronicity that governs life. Studying it has opened important doors in my existence, turning my attention to my soul and the free will that belongs to each of us. To convey the message I think it is important to first of all be part of it ourselves. Thank you Sara, thank you Carlo for creating the Academy that spreads your message.

Biagio, Rome

The theory and method taught by Carlo are quite simple to use and you immediately see results that, with practice, grow every day. So, if a person wanted to start on a path to learn how to read the Tarot, Carlo would be a great way to approach this world, a world that can be visited by both experts and beginners.

Francesco, Brescia

Thanks to the courses on the Major Arcana, an in-depth encounter with these ‘wise’ and metaphysical archetypes was possible, which allowed me to awaken the deep sides of my consciousness and expand my worldview to a higher and more mystical knowledge.

Giorgia, Bergamo

I started this journey, I can say today in retrospect, one of the most important of my life, about a year and a half ago. I didn’t really know where I was going, but I knew that this would take me on a journey within myself. Well, I have faced my demons step by step and still have much to face, but since I met you and the Tarot, I have never again faced anything without coming into contact with this higher intelligence. A path that allowed me to confront myself, deep inside. I was able to see, to look at that part of me that had been forgotten in oblivion and, albeit sometimes with some difficulty, I began to change and everything around me changed. Opposing resistance when the Tarot’s message is difficult for us to accept does nothing more than make the same message come back again and again to the point where, finally, our souls open up. That is where the profound change begins. I wish everyone this great opportunity for authentic rebirth. With gratitude,

Barbara, Rome

More than a course, for me it was a path, especially of awareness. Masterfully conducted by a cathartic Carlo Bozzelli, an extraordinary conversationalist and charmer of people, and his precious companion Sara. I wanted to take this opportunity to embrace you with affection and wish you all the best.

Umberto, Rome

The method transmitted in the courses is enlightening. I realised the true meaning of the Tarot when I saw Carlo in action. Tarot reading is an accompaniment to life. Each stage brings new profound knowledge. It makes one wonder why stop when there is so much to explore and learn. Stimuli not only mental, but above all spiritual. It is giving new light and new meaning to what has been experienced so far and a new charge to face what lies ahead. All under the banner of spiritual evolution.

Ermanna, Lecco

I have been attending Tarot Academy courses for years: a scientific method firmly anchored in the spiritual wisdom inherent in human civilisations of all times. The descriptive power of words is limited…All that remains is to experiment.

Barbara, Milan

Very beautiful experience, a profound and evolutionary journey. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity.

Cristina, Verona

My personal experience. I am really happy to have entered the world of Tarot and to have had Professor Bozzelli as a teacher.

Tinca, Padua

Added value: rigorous method, thoroughness, systematicity, different perspective with which to rework the knowledge I possess.

Bice, Imola

An enlightening experience about the magic of the instrument and the potential within us.

Francesca, Bergamo

Over time I have had many other experiences of personal growth, but I have never encountered a tool for vision, understanding and inner healing as powerful, as profound, as expressive, as extraordinarily refined and as dense with meaning as the Tarot. With each passing day, I experience first-hand its value and effectiveness. Every day that passes the Tarot amazes and surprises me. Knowledge, but even more so the practice of the Tarot, is one of the greatest gifts a person can give himself. Like all practices that have to do with a path of inner evolution, both on an individual and universal level, working with the Tarot requires commitment, attention, humility, study and application in order to be able to understand and make the best use of its very rich and articulated language. However, every minute we dedicate to it is rewarded by the joy and enthusiasm of experiencing for ourselves access to a higher level of authentic awareness, of progressive understanding and realisation of the meaning of our human experience on the multiple planes of our personality and spirituality. I hope to be able, in the near future, to offer a small part of the benefits I receive daily from the Tarot also to all those I will have the good fortune to meet along the rest of my life’s journey, so that I can make it a real tool of help and compassion for others. This will probably require a certain amount of effort on my part, but it will also represent a new, more meaningful direction for me to head in. I would also like to express my most sincere thanks and my highest esteem to Carlo Bozzelli, not only for his great culture and exceptional knowledge of the subject, but also for his undeniable skills in the field of teaching, for the attention and availability he has always shown to each of the course participants, passing on to us the teaching of the Tarot in a careful, scrupulous, uncontaminated manner, precisely commensurate with our level and abilities, more like a father than a teacher. His is a teaching that truly comes from the heart. Thank you, Carlo, thank you, Sara, for giving me the opportunity to get to know and experience all this.

Francesco, Milan

Carlo’s are not courses. They are accelerators of awareness and evolution. Above all, you understand that it will not be a path but an endless spiral. Thank you.

Cristina, Milan

An excellent opportunity to learn how to read a sacred language, applicable to one’s personal growth and, at the same time, a tool to support, with precise indications, the consultant’s evolution. A great gift of existence, to be handled with utmost care and dedication in helping others.

Giovanni, Genoa

A unique and unforgettable experience, a fascinating world to recommend to anyone who wants to embark on a journey of inner knowledge.

Rita, Milan

It is difficult to talk about something that moves so significantly…

Laura, Milan

For beginners, for all beginners, hesitant, uncertain, doubtful, for those full of reservations both about the depth-reliability of the Tarot, and about themselves and their abilities, the reading days are essential. Slowly over the course of the readings Carlo, with his usual total generosity, allows us to verify how fundamental this part of the teaching is and how much it can help us to put it into practice.

Fulvio, Milan

A very well done seminar. Carlo is impeccable: a great communicator, very knowledgeable about the subject, he manages to balance scientific and magical aspects well. It was a joy for me to attend the course. Highly recommended!

Maria, Venice

A very serious in-depth scientific and esoteric course to learn how to read a new language made of rules and codes. Extraordinary!

Donatella, Rome

A wonderful experience conducted with great humanity, seriousness and sensitivity. I was given the opportunity to enter and see the beginning of a path that can lead to great levels of inner evolution. And that it can become a tool to be used in everyday life for us and for others. I will continue on this path with great joy and curiosity!

Valentina, Rome

A very intense and formative experience, a surprise for those who do not know the subject or only have a rough idea from ‘hearsay’. Clichés are broken down and we enter a magical world that is more real than reality, where we ourselves become the ‘Tarot’, reconnecting with our true essence that becomes a guide to a profound and amazing journey, just like ‘Le Mat’. Everyone should have this experience to fully understand the meaning of all things.

Cristina, Rome

I am very satisfied I would not have imagined having so much input I am already looking forward to doing it again.

Flavia, Rome

The course is so well structured and serious that the feedback can only be positive. For those unfamiliar with the subject, everything is very clear and understandable, also because Carlo’s preparation shines through from the very first day of the course. Personally, I recommend it to all those who wish to start on a path that revolutionises their perspective and who want to welcome the Tarot into their lives.

Claudia, Rome

The Tarot course/path created by the Tarot Academy is a wonderful experience of personal and evolutionary growth. I consider myself very lucky to have met Carlo and Sara on my Path and to have come into contact with the world of the Tarot, which has now been part of my life for several years.

Monica, Rome

The course on the Major Arcana taken with Carlo Bozzelli was a true revelation of the evolutionary potential of an instrument that is mostly used to the minimum of its potential, i.e. only to ‘predict’ the future. The Tarot taught by Carlo, on the other hand, is a tool for inner knowledge and self-analysis with a very high evolutionary potential. I highly recommend it, the Tarot is wonderful and Carlo is great at teaching.

Gaia, Rome

Carlo is very well prepared and humanly very generous, with his courses he facilitates not only the understanding of the Arcana, but also any leaps in personal awareness.

Mario, Naples

Excellent course! A comprehensive and exhaustive course with attention to detail and made accessible to most by the simplicity with which profound content is conveyed. Wonderful and to be repeated!

Ombretta, Milan

An experience I would recommend: you arrive uncertain and hesitant, you have the opportunity to do some great thinking for a change and at the end you say goodbye to everyone and you are even more confused than before… what more could you ask for!

Barbara, Bergamo

An emotional experience, a journey into oneself that everyone should take, the Tarot is not just a card, but a door that opens your mind and soul. Carlo an excellent teacher, he can take you by the hand and guide you with his knowledge. Really amazing.

Laura, Milan

A unique experience, I have attended many seminars and courses always in the occult/spiritual field but none has ever been so engaging and interesting. Carlo is truly a master both professionally and in life, and Sara is of a rare availability and kindness.

Elisa, Como

Laura, Milan

I am really enjoying the course, it is really interesting and very well explained. My opinion of the online mode is more than positive because it allows me to enjoy the course at my own pace. and in comfort.

Rossana, Milan

I attended the video courses related to the Major Arcana cycle and I enjoyed them very much! Carlo thus clearly explains a subject that is as fascinating as it is subtle and deep and full of food for thought. The Tarot is a powerful tool that can guide and transform one’s life for the better. I have recently started this path of study and life and it is my wish to continue it. The video courses are also very convenient and offer the possibility to follow them according to one’s needs. Thanks also to Sara, always kind and helpful.

Marina, Milan

I attended the Major Arcana course at a distance – video lessons. I was very satisfied because I found Carlo’s explanations very interesting, complete and curious. He gave me the impression that he is very well prepared and you can see the experience behind him.

Federica, Turin

Highly transformative and very ‘immersive’ experience. One senses that behind the courses there is a desire to share and transmit rather than talk at each other and sit in a chair. Excellent work, whose common thread is integrity, united by a passion for the subject. An apparently occult language but one that speaks with great transparency and simplicity to those who know how to listen. The modules are structured in a progressive and effective way for gradual and deepening understanding and the content is truly a gold mine.

Enrico, London

I approached the Tarot with Carlo’s guidance and a world opened up to me. Its gradual and scrupulous conduct reveals the secrets of a metaphysical language that connects us with our highest Self. I am only at the beginning, but I have the feeling that this journey will last a lifetime. The video courses are excellent from the teaching point of view. Carlo is generous and meticulous in his explanations. This mode allows, with ease, to take valuable notes based on the explanation.

Liliana, Asti

I found the explanations very clear and comprehensive. Exceeding initial expectations.

Lucia, Trieste

The Tarology course should be undertaken by everyone, I dare say brought into schools as a subject of study. It enables one to embark on an inner journey that allows one to work firstly on oneself and then to help others. I agree with Carlo Bozzelli that we need to eradicate the idea that it is a divinatory method. I found the course to be comprehensive, clear and well formulated even if at times excessively repetitive on aspects that were already clear to me personally. It is not necessary to have previous studies in the subject, although many topics covered, e.g. genealogy, should be studied separately. I would like to thank Carlo Bozzelli and the Accademia dei Tarocchi for giving me the opportunity to learn the laws and reading of the Tarot through the Cipher matrix.
