Venice is popular for many things! One thing that comes to my mind is a mask! In our family social circle, whoever went on a Europe trip got a mask as a souvenir gift. As a child I used to wonder fancy things. Later I learned many stories about the masks from Venice! One day I was in Venice ... I saw mostly the carnival masks in souvenir shops though there are many other traditional masks available, like full face, eye etc. Carnival masks are very colorful, shining and ornate. I too bought one which is now hanging on the board where all my travel trophies are. It must be fun to wear masks in carnivals!
What a remember the most about Venice was the Gondolas. This mask is beautiful. I do find it very mysterious to think of wearing a mask and thus hiding ones true identity- many a novel features such story lines. Intriguing, indeed.
ReplyDeleteYeah! But, when you see them on the stand ... colorful and beautiful you can't resist ... you just click!
