This is my all-time favorite mask shop in Venice and, even though the owners have another shop closer to the Ponte Rialto, I prefer the laboratorio in the Santa Croce district, where visitors can watch the artisans handcrafting lovely (and often pricey) masks. This shop carries a fine selection of handmade traditional Venetian masks, including Commedia dell’Arte masks and those from Fellini’s Casanova. Some of their more unusual masks have acrylic, watercolor and hand-sketched scenes of Venice on them. In addition to masks, the artisans craft marionettes and watercolors. If you’re interested in learning to design a mask of your own, call to request a personal lesson or purchase one of their plain white masks and try mask-making at home.
