| Masks in Venice once had enormous significance in social relations, to
such an extent that in some cases they were made compulsory by law, and
over the centuries masks makers had considerably refined their art. But,
with the fall of the Venetian Republic at the end of the 18th century, the
use and tradition of Venetian masks gradually began to decline, until they
disappeared altogether. At that time, hardly anything of this tradition
remained in the culture and collective conscience of the Venetian people,
and only slight traces could be found in obscure volumes buried in the
libraries. |
