Why are masks popular in Venice?

The masks are part of the Venetian tradition. They are rooted in the territory and culture because they represent a part of the development and history of the Serenissima Republic. The masks are the symbol of freedom and transgression, they level social categories and add charm and mystery to the wearer.

For a certain time of the year (the carnival authorized by the Doge), the Venetians and foreigners (Venice was a thriving center of trade exchange through navigation), men and women, the poor and the rich all became equal wearing a mask.
