Carlo Dellarocca was an Italian engraver and illustrator during the mid 19th century and best known for his masterful work on the Soprafino Tarot, one of the most refined examples of 19th-century Italian card design. Working in Milan, Dellarocca combined classical elegance with meticulous linework, giving his figures a grace and humanity rare in playing cards of the time. His engravings reflect the artistic ideals of the Italian Neoclassical period—balanced, expressive, and rich in symbolic detail—and his influence endures in the many modern decks inspired by his original designs.
