People who participated in Venice's famed Carnivale started wearing masks to hide their identities so that they could be free to conduct their "dirty business" without fear of recognition. Activities such as gambling, underhanded dealing, debauchery, public intoxication and various other less-than-honorable activities were common during this festival. The masks grew to be a symbol of Carnivale and many artisans took up the craft.
