Galeazzo Malatesta, having no children, gave Pesaro as a dower to his niece, Costansa Varano, wife of Alessandro Sforza, and the latter was confirmed in the possession of the city by the Holy See in 1447.

 Andy's Playing Cards - page VII - The Tarots Of Ferrara - part 1   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The same difficulty in telling one trump from the other was the reason why somebody added small numbers to those of the Tarot of Alessandro Sforza and the Tarot of Charles VI, likely by the time these decks no longer belonged to the original owners.
Alessandro was Francesco Sforza's brother; he was duke of Pesaro (1445-73), a city located on Italy's Adriatic coast, about 160 Km (or 100 mi) south-east of Ferrara, thus not within the jurisdiction of the Este, yet still within the area of influence of the eastern group of tarots.
Some pip cards have survived only from the Tarot of Alessandro Sforza and the Rothschild Tarot, and both of them are consistent with those of the Pierpont Morgan Bergamo Visconti Sforza deck (see the Visconti Tarots in page VI, part 4): a white background, without a hammered pattern, painted with colourful flowers and leaves.

The grand castle of Sforza stands in the middle of the city of Milan, the capital of the state of Milan that along with Naples, Genoa, Florence, Sienna, the Papal States and Venice formed the bulk of the Latin-speaking world in the 15th century.
The Sforza Castle was the seat of the Sforza family, and had been so for the last two centuries.
Though most were of the Sforza family, there was one that stood out for its beauty; surely the subject of this portrait was not one of the Sforzas.

 Sforza Triptych by WEYDEN, Rogier van der
Around 1460 an altarpiece of remarkably irregular composition, known as the Sforza Triptych, was painted for Alessandro Sforza (1409-1479), a member of the Pesaro branch of the famous Sforza family of Milan.
Alessandro Sforza is kneeling before the Crucifixion at the centre - his head was painted on a separate piece of foil and then stuck into the picture - with two members of his family who cannot be identified for certain.
On the same level, the wings of the triptych show St Bavo and St Francis on the left, and St Catherine and St Barbara on the right.

Having annulled the marriage with Sforza for political reasons, Alessandro VI married her to the seventeen year-old Alfonso of Aragon, Duke of Risceglie, natural son of Alfonso II of Aragon.
Pope Alessandro VI, very ³generously² gave as a dowry to his daughter all the Bolognese territory left of the Reno with the centres of Cento and Renazzo, an operation not without some pain for the residents who still complain about that exchange even today.

The oldest of the four decks is undoubtly the Tarot of Alessandro Sforza, whose distinctive crest on the king of Swords, a bezel ring crossed by a carnation, fixes a deadline for the making of the deck: 1473.
Some scholars also maintain that some of the illustrations of this deck are stylistically more primitive than the others, and that the clothes worn by the court personages used to be fashionable up to the mid 1400s.
If this interpretation is correct, the tarot could have been made in the same years as the aforesaid Tarot of Alessandro Sforza, i.e.

When, in 1499, Cesare Borgia, son of Pope Alessandro VI and brother of Lucrezia, wanted to conquer Romagna to build his own personal principality, he had to fight against Caterina Sforza, Lady of Imola and Forli.
Caterina was a strong woman but her energy could do nothing against the terrible reputation of Cesare Borgia: the city of Imola surrendered to Borgia without a fight.
The Regional Enoteca of Emilia-Romagna is located in the cellar of the Fortress, where one can taste and buy the typical wines of the region: a suggestive setting for the well-known specialties of this area.
