CAPPELLANO S.A.

Originally known as Cappellano Hnos in the 1920s, and undergoing several changes of name and address, the company produced catalan style packs with the brand names "Naipes Triunfo" and "Torcacita" as well as an Anglo-American style pack titled "VELCAP". There was also a special Gaucho deck titled Martín Fierro designed by José Speroni.
