post I want to connect to the beautiful Lara 'The origins of the Mask'' repeated the March 1 in his blog ''''Summer Enchanted to continue to talk about this topic:
Traditionally Carnival is the time when, wearing a mask and a costume, you stops its own identity to assume that indicated or suggested by the costume you choose. However, masking is not an act purely carnival - as rightly says Lara - and not always for fun or entertainment.
The Venetians used to dress up in fact not only Carnival, but also in all those occasions when it was necessary to conceal their identity. The men wore the mask at the gaming tables to avoid their creditors. very young girls wore when he went to theater .
Women often wore the 'moreta', the typical Venetian mask of velvet, to enhance the beauty and mystery. Among the many reasons that may push someone to hide their identity behind a mask or a disguise there are often deception and wickedness, but also the love and the need for survival, desire to change or subvert the rules.
Odyssey, for example, the poem that Homer wrote to tell the story of Ulysses , the hero, to surprise the suitors that the plot against the throne, is returning to her home disguised as an old beggar.
Or is it impossible to forget the wolf of Little Red Riding Hood so bad as to be groped surprising of disguise, hiding under a cap granny mustache the nose and long teeth.
examples or reasons are many but it would take too long to describe ................
