I took this picture a few years ago when I visited Verona (Italy). We walked through a city market where there were all kind of tourist artifacts, and I saw them. I hope you like it.

I love these.
We have seen some marvelous ones in Venice, and they represent a wonderful slice of the local culture.
Also, one sees these in New Orleans as well.

Masks are fascinating accessories that we use for practical reasons like like a shield to protect ourselves during a pandemic or for ulterior motives to hide feelings. Sometimes they are visible, but most times they are not. The shallow mask of manners, the mask of hypocrisy, the mask of presence... They were, of course, used in Greek theater to show emotions, grief, pain, happiness, anger etc. I believe the Venetian masks originated as a protection against the cholera or black death long before they were used in carnivals. But, I may be wrong...

Very good Ozi.
