Masquerade Masks
Masquerade masks were originally produced in Italy to become a look of diversion to the townspeople throughout festival months, and caught on quickly as, once concealed behind a mask, the gentlemen and ladies could freely blend with the common folk throughout festival. Old Italian law stated both classes were not allotted to blend, a law which, if broken could result in serious discipline. Despite the face of such penalty, the noblemen including clergy would conceal themselves and speak together with the commoners, doing their best to ferret out important political knowledge from them. The construction of the masquerade disguise is generally as basic or as elaborate as the designer could visualize. Because beads, ribbon and feathers were generally plentiful and radiant, they were widely used pieces on masks. After their creation in Italy, the acceptance of the masquerade mask spread out instantly globally.
