Venetian Masks



In Venice Italy, there are many shops that sell Venetian Masks, many which can cost hundreds of euros, as it can take many hours to make by hand. Masks sold at souvenir stands, such as the one in this photo, aren't of a high quality but are definitely a fun souvenir to bring home. These were in the 10 -15 euro range.

This is one of my favorite photos from Venice. I took this same shot back in 2006. I wasn't sure I could find the place again, but happily I did.
