It's a question of materials. We can use recycled materials, which has nearly zero cost, to which you only have to add the artist's work. We can make masks from pure gold with particular braids, decorations and jewels. So the cost can rise and we can go up to 300, 400 euros

It is a bit similar to modern fashion, for the man at least. We are talking about men. For women in the '800's still had all the crinolines. there were the Ball dresses and the evening dresses were very glamouros. Men had dark clothing, with a white string tie, and a top hat or a cylinder hat

There is the idea of doing something beautiful, but most of all unique, meaning to never repeat something already seen in the past, but trying to create somtehing that is always somewhat different, new. This is really what the competition is about, not so much against friends, as much as against oneself, trying to do every year something more beautiful than the past one.

Today we think about carnival has a place for masks, but these masks are something that we created in our times. Many dress like a '700 dame or nobleman of the times that were, but at that time there was no such hiding. People continued to dress in their everyday clothes holding or tying a mask in front of the eyes.

Foreign competition making life difficult for Venice carnival mask makers
(6 Feb 2012)
1. Wide exterior of Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice
2. Couple wearing masks walking in St Mark's Square
3. Wide exterior Ca' Macana atelier (workshop), Cannaregio district
4. Close-up sign with golden mask above shop entrance
5. Close-up of hand-made red and gold mask at entrance
6. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Carlos Brassesco, Ca' Macana owner:
The mask for the theatre is mainly made with leather, as you can see. These masks are made with a wooden mould and wet leather manipulated with a hammer. These types of masks are made just for the theatre, because they are more flexible. They last for a lifetime. The more you use it, the more they adapt to your face. They have a different grip, you can really perform with it, in a stronger way than by using the papier mache masks. The mask made with papier mache is the Carnival mask. It requires a faster processing technique, it's more simple. It is a more popular mask.
7. Various of Carlos' wife, Carolina Vincente, decorating mask with gold leaf
8. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Carlos Brassesco, Ca' Macana owner:
In the beginning, it was really an interest kind of thing thing, and also because there was the deep historical research required. There was the interest in knowing all the characters of the Commedia: from Arlecchino, Zanni, Pulcinella, Brighella to minor characters.
9. Male customer trying on a devil mask
10. Female customer trying on orange coloured mask
11. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Carlos Brassesco, Ca' Macana owner:
Then ceramic masks from Bassano started entering this trade. And then came plastic masks from China and then from Albania, so our job suffered.
12. Pull out from pink mask to Carolina working on mask
13. Pan from close-up of mask to customers talking with Carolina
14. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Carlos Brassesco, Ca' Macana owner:
We have been asking for a special label for twenty years. We asked also - speaking seriously - for a museum. I don't understand why there isn't an historical museum of Venetian masks in Venice. If you go to Brussels, there is the European museum of Carnival, where a big part is dedicated to the Venetian Carnival.
15. Pull focus from red mask to customer in the shop
16. Wide exterior shop, tourist taking picture
STORYLINE:
The annual Carnival of Venice is the highlight of the famous Italian city's calendar and is an occasion perhaps best symbolised by the famous Venetian mask.
The city's Mascareri - or mask-makers - say, however, that the trade is under threat from foreign competition.
Every year the city's Carnival traditions have steadily drawn thousands of tourists.
Last year's celebrations saw a record 250-thousand visitors during the last weekend of the festival.
Such tourist trade has provided a welcome and steady flow of income to the city's economy.
But the very symbol of this festival, colourful masks made by local artisans, is under threat from foreign competition and lack of protection from the local authority, according to critics.
Mascareri, as the original Venetian mask makers were called, have been practising their trade since 1436.
Nowadays in Venice there are a variety of mask shops, but only a few can really be called mask-makers.
One of these is Ca' Macana atelier in the Cannaregio district, where Carlos Brassesco and his wife Carolina Vincente have been producing masks for over 20 years.
In their shop, where work is performed in a studio open to the public, hundreds of masks are on display.
Some are especially made for Carnival and some, in the style of Commedia dell'Arte, the Italian comic tradition dating to the 16th century - are used in theatre.
The relatively cheap price of foreign-made masks makes the situation increasingly worse, the couple said.

Venice's famous Carnival masks and costumes
(27 Jan 2016) LEAD-IN:
It's carnival time in Venice and once again masked people dressed in spectacular costumes have started to fill the streets and squares of the canal city.
This year Carnival is celebrating the army of mask makers, tailors, weavers and glass makers who are helping recreate the magic and colour of 18th Century Venice over the next few weeks.
STORY-LINE:
Intricately designed masks, grandiose costumes - it could only be Venice Carnival.
And this year the people who have been working all year long to create the spectacular costumes that mark the carnival are being celebrated with a special tribute.
Starting January 30th visitors will be able to see images of the craftsmen and women at work on a big screen in St Mark's Square. Actors will recreate the artisans activities from 18th Century workshops showing how the crafts have remained unchanged over the centuries.
Local artisans such as mask makers, tailors and shoemakers will also gather on the square for workshops.
Whether strolling along the canals or attending an elaborate ball - the Venetian mask is the signature of Carnival.
Master mask maker, Gualtiero Dall'Osto from the Tragicomica atelier in Venice has been making masks for 35 years. He says far from hiding the face - the masks allow the wearers to reveals their true selves.
The mask is inside a person, is inside his capability to look inside himself, to find himself, and Carnival is the chance, the time, when this is freely allowed, so we have to keep on recovering this space as best we can, because it is the space of creativity in which we allow ourselves to look inside and find our inner masks.
The cost of a mask ranges from around 70 euros for a paper mask (USD 76) to anything up to 2000 euros (USD 2175) and beyond for a bespoke piece.
Francesco Briggi tailors for Pietro Longhi atelier (studio), one of the most famous craft houses in Venice.
Here costumes fit for lords and ladies are sewn with intricate detail for clients that have ordered up to a year in advance.
It takes almost a month to create a costume. If a person decides to come to Carnival for ten days then is not possible to do anything. We have many clients, loyal carnival goers, who are already thinking about the next carnival the end of this carnival and we meet during the year to be able to realise what they wish.
Costumes from the 18th Century and the Renaissance are popular. Many clients ask for Doge and Dogaressa outfits - mimicking the medieval rulers of state - others opt for characters painted by the great Venetian painters of that era.
Outfits start at around 3,000 euros (USD 330) and the atelier says there is no price limit. Sometimes clients ask for adornments made from gold or precious stones - others want original fabric from the 18th Century. The cost is infinite depending on requirements.
It's an expensive pastime for serious Carnival fans. According to the atelier these types of client would not allow themselves to be seen in the same costume more than once.
Often costumes are hired at a cost of 250 / 300 euros (USD 270 / 325) a day and are worn throughout the carnival. The bought costume is saved for special balls or the Mardi Gras Ball on the last night of Carnival.
There is this necessity to be able to amaze the people coming to Venice and obviously, which is the best stage in Venice to do all this? The excuse ...the tradition of Carnival gives us these infinite possibilities. Over the years we've been able to create an historic, artistic and entertaining strand that combines all of these things, says Briggi.
Venice Carnival runs from 23rd January to 9th February 2016.

Here's the painstaking, 2-week process that goes into making masks for the Carnival of Venice
Business Insider UK visited three different workshops to see how the masks are made for the world famous Carnival of Venice.
The traditional masks are made in papier maché and are decorated with things like gold leaf, feathers, or gems.
The Carnival of Venice began in the 12th century, it bloomed during the Renaissance period but was disbanded during the late 18th century.
The festival was restored in 1979 and has grown in popularity since then.
Watch the video to see how the masks are made.
Special thanks to workshops La Bottega dei Mascareri, Magie di Carnevale, and Ca' Macana.

Venice's pre-Lenten carnival opens with floating circus
(27 Jan 2018) The city of Venice kicked off its carnival season with a spectacular circus performance on the Cannaregio Canal on Saturday.
Inspired by Italian Film Director Federico Fellini, the flotilla was complete with inflatable animals, a tightrope walker and fire eaters.
Thousands of people from all over the world lined the banks of the canal to see the opening performance while thousands of others got blocked outside by police who said the area was becoming dangerously overcrowded.
But those who were lucky enough to see the show were wildly enthusiastic.
It is amazing. The Venice Carnival is just amazing, said Marco, dressed in white wig and three-cornered hat.
He came with two friends from Poland for the festivities.
I liked the boats, I liked the giraffe, the lion, I thought it was creative. It looks like they spent a lot of time making them and I thought it was beautiful, said Spanish tourist Natasha Placencia.
This year Venice carnival runs from January 27th to February 13th.
The Venetian Carnival is a public party lasting for weeks that leads into the Roman Catholic period of Lent.
