Venetian masks - Free pictures

As if Venice didn’t already have enough masks, there were specific masks that were used only during the Venice Carnival. These masks were worn for the same reasons as the white masks, but they were also much more colourful and decorative, to mark the special occasion. The Venice Carnival has always been a huge occasion to party, and the colourful Venetian masks reflect the city’s fondness for revelry! Even though Venetians wore masks at various times of year, many more of them chose to wear masks during the Carnival! Masks allowed Venetians to live much freer, more liberated lives than many other Europeans and there’s something extremely fun and exciting about attending a masked ball or taking part in the Best Mask Contest.
