Why were masquerade masks used?

Masquerade masks were used to conceal the identity of the wearer during the balls. At the ball the mask meant you did not know who you were dancing with, although the ball was almost like a game of guess who where people tried to guess the identities of the others and often suitors tried to steal a kiss from a woman who had caught their eye.

What are the different shapes of venetian masks?

There are many shapes, sizes, styles, and meanings, here are some sites to explain: * http://www.masksvenetian.com/page/masks Venetian masks can be made in leather or with the original papier-mâché technique. The original masks were rather simple in design and decoration. They often had a symbolic and practical function. Nowadays, most of them are made with the application of gesso and gold leaf and are all hand-painted using natural feathers and gems to decorate. Most masks sold in the tourist shops in Venice have nothing to do with the original Venetian masks. (This site explains nicely about shapes) * http://espritlibre.multiply.com/photos/album/66
