The Tradition of Venetian Masks Venetians have worn masks for centuries, and during the carnival season, almost everyone dons one. Originally, masks allowed people to enjoy festivities without social restrictions, creating a unique sense of anonymity and freedom.
The Art of Mask Making
Venetian mask makers, known as Mascherari, were so essential to Venetian society that they formed their own guild as early as 1436. Traditionally, masks were crafted from leather or glass, but modern versions are made using gesso, gold leaf, hand-painted designs, natural feathers, and gemstones.
Types of Venetian Masks
Bauta – A full-face mask with a square jaw, often worn with a tricorn hat and cloak. Volto – Meaning “face,” this simple mask covers the entire face and is often decorated with gold or intricate designs.
Colombina – A half-mask adorned with jewels and feathers, originally designed for women. Medico della Peste (Plague Doctor) – A long-nosed mask that was originally used by doctors during plagues but later became a carnival favorite.
