What is the etymology of the English-language term? -Fsotrain09 21:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

This entry describes one kind of deck used in Italy to play this game, however it's perfectly possible to play it using an international deck, by simply removing the 8, 9, 10 and Jolly Joker cards. In the north-west of Italy French style decks are commonly used, while the deck described is used mostly in southern Italy. Mikelima (talk) 09:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Face Cards (Knave/Jack vs. lady)

I was under the belief that the term for the face card of the woman was called the lady, or the donna, rather than the Knave, or the fante. Can someone please clarify this for me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.3.99 (talk) 05:40, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
