Information on these cards are incredibly scarce and most of the resources for these cards are only available in Italian apart from Italian Cartomancy: Learn The Vera Sibilla Italiana by Alessandra Venturi. Which you can purchase on Amazon, eBay, and of course through Lulu. Yes, it is a pricy book but there aren't any other books available in English on these cards themselves. (or least ones that follow the traditional Vera Sibilla imagery). If you are serious about learning these cards, I would highly recommend getting despite the author's elitism and overly promoting her course.

Card Meanings:
J. David Arcuri's Sibilla Card Meanings: If you don't want to purchase Alessandra Venturi's book or can't afford it, please check out J. David's blog on Sibilla cards. These are basic meanings to help you get started so you can start reading with these cards and have something to go off of.
I also created a PDF with the upright and reversed meanings and tried to keep it down to a few meanings and keywords rather than give every meaning possible. I didn't include the meanings in terms of reading for health. It's not something I do. If you want to learn those meanings, get Venturi's book or find another reliable resource that includes them. This PDF does have the link to my now defunct website. Yes, I am going through yet another rebrand.
Videos: Most videos on these cards are in Italian and if you speak Italian, I would recommend Etienne Valancourt's channel. Unfortunately, my Italian still has a lot to be desired despite originally learning it at age 13. I haven't really learnt the language to fluency even though I am a polyglot! But since Italian is a beautiful language, I definitely will be coming back to learning it at a later date.
I made a playlist of videos on many of these cards. Keep in mind that there are a few videos I had to delete and some I have to still remake because of a technical issue I was having. But these videos should also be helpful as well.
