Italian Salzburger cards

Simply titled "Salzburger", this deck is the only variant of the Salzburger pattern that is not manufactured in Austria by Piatnik, but in Italy by Dal Negro for the South Tyrolean market. Consequently, these are the only German-suited playing cards (Acorns, Leaves, Hearts, and Bells) produced in Italy. The deck also illustrates differences in regional market preferences: while cardstock playing cards are preferred in Austria, plastic playing cards are the most popular in Italy, serving as a key selling point that is prominently advertised on the packaging as "100% Plastik". This makes these the only Salzburger playing cards printed on plastic.

In South Tyrol, these cards are used to play "Watten", similar to the neighboring Tyrolean region, although over time the Tell pattern (Doppeldeutsche Karten) has become more prevalent there; the Austrian Salzburger pattern is currently used almost exclusively in Vorarlberg. While the standard Austrian deck contains 36 cards, this deck contains 40 cards and extends down to the 5s. To achieve this, the design of the 7 of Hearts, which features a snake motif, is copied to create the four 5s, each modified with five suit symbols. These 5 cards also feature the maker's mark, reading "Fabbrica carte da gioco", along with the name of Dal Negro's founder, Teodomiro Dal Negro, and his city, Treviso. The manufacturer's signature card, as in the Austrian counterpart, is the 8 of Bells , which displays Dal Negro's crown logo and the product number.
