€20-€1000Venetian Mask in Venice
The Venetian mask did not originate as a decorative object. It began as a social tool. In a city where everyone knew each other, hiding was the only way to be free.
For centuries in Venezia, the mask allowed people to step outside their social roles, mingle across classes, observe without being recognized, and live without being judged. It was used not only during Carnevale, but also in theaters, parties, public gatherings, and everyday moments of city life.
In Venezia, anonymity has never meant escape, but possibility. The mask does not conceal out of fear, but by choice.
