Hi guys, it has been a while. Probably you won't remember me anymore, and that's ok. First of all I owe you an apology for not being active since... well, since a lot of time. I wanted to share with you an announcement I made on my personal Facebook page, I think it belongs here as well.

Dear friends,
My adventure with producing playing cards has come to an end. I am forever grateful to everyone who walked this wide portion of my life with me. I won’t mention anyone explicitly, but you know who you are.

It has been a fun and deeply emotional ride. This has been one of the things that kept me young and alive.

Of course, I want to thank every customer and supporter (may I call them friends?) of Passione Playing Cards and Velata Playing Cards. The mere thought that our decks are enjoyed by hundreds of people around the world makes me happy every time I think about it—and always will.

The social pages will soon post a similar message and then will go dark, or follow the normal course of inactive businesses.

Again, thank you, guys.
Riccardo

Sure I remember. I have some of your cards. Lovely artwork. Thanks for making them. You always provided good customer service. Good luck with the next part of your journey.

I have all the double decks you released, all in carat cases. They're works of art and I thank you for helping bring them to life.

I have a lot of decks and only a tiny amount of display space in comparison, and I can say that all yours have been on display since obtained, the sets in those double carats kevork mentioned
