The Back Story
More:
Bright and colorful, masquerade, or Venetian masks emerged during the
repressed climate of medieval Italy. Originally intended to shield
revelers from the judging eyes of neighbors, these festive masks
eventually came to symbolize Carnevale, a pre-Lent celebration, as well
as theater, pageant and street festivals throughout the year.
A visitor to our store imagined how lovely the Theater Mask Ornaments
would look displayed together in a shadow box.
On a Personal Note:
Wandering down the narrow streets of Firenze, Italy, I noticed many of
the boutiques carried BEAUTIFUL hand-crafted masks. Many were
hand-crafted, made out of paper mache, and they reminded me of Mardi
Gras and traditional theatre symbols. But, I learned these masks have a
rich history in Italy. (Sarah Stanley, Founder)
