Modiano (founded before 1884) is an Italian brand of playing cards. The company was founded by Saul David Modiano [he][1] in Trieste and initially manufactured cigarette papers.

In 1987 the company was taken over by the Grafad group, though the Modiano brand is still in use for playing cards and games equipment.[2]
