Description Venice (Italy)

Today's Venetian masks serve two functions: as vehicles for self-expression and self-display during Carnevale, and as souvenirs or craft objects to take home as souvenirs of a Venetian trip.

Masks are easy to obtain in Venice. Street vendors sell them (especially at Carnival time), and you can buy anything from mass-produced paper or ceramic miniatures to handcrafted papier-mΓ’chΓ© and leather masks by skilled artisans.

This one is awesome. Beside my ussual fascination of venecian mascs this one is so dreadful, so threathening, though it's only a mask, not a person...
