Lots of confusion out there about which Favole suits could reasonably correspond to which traditional suits. I personally think Crosses = Wands, Roses (Flowers) = Cups, Butterflies = Pentacles (matter, physical world) and Masks = Swords (the connection here being: mask on a face which is part of the head, which houses the brain, which is the seat of the mind and of our thoughts. A bit of a stretch, but it works for me.
You don't mention that with the exception of the pip cards, these were not designed for tarot, rather the images were all taken from the artists existing body of work and, for the courts, photoshoped to add the suit signs. That's why the don't fit any standard occultist pattern.
