About Simply Masquerade And Our Venetian Masks
The truly unique and beautiful
Venetian Masks have a fascinating history. For centuries, Venice was one of the
most powerful republics in the world. A small city where people lived in closed
proximity to one another, Venetians adopted the custom of being masked so that
citizens could move freely in society during the day. Noblemen and servants
alike used Masquerade Masks and Venetian Masks to keep their identities hidden and their dealings –
mostly of a financial or romantic nature - unknown.
Eventually, the masks became
more and more elaborate and developed specific uses: Masquerade Masks, Mardi
Gras Masks, Carnival Masks, Masquerade Ball Masks, Masquerade Party Masks, the
variety and styles growing ever more detailed and beautiful.

Craftsmanship
Today Venetian masks of every description are still worn
