Piero Ciampi - Il giocatore
L. Sciascia, The Council of Egypt: “There was then a game that gave him more excitement: it was called biribissi, and it paid the winner sixty-four times the stake; strictly prohibited, of course: which gave the players, additionally, the pleasure of defying the ever intruding authority. On a single card, a single number, sometimes a fiefdom would dissolve.”
