$MASKS

Some social spheres have suffered over time from the prohibition or obligation to conceal the face under a mask. In the history of the Venetian Republic, there were known laws forbidding the wearing of a mask in casinos, at night, in convents, and in brothels (primarily because of the use of the Niaga mask (cat mask) worn by men in prostitution). At the same time, the mask was compulsory for women who went to the theater, but forbidden for unmarried girls.

Venice has such a unique history and culture 🎭
