Venetian mask creation workshop
Venice, with its centuries-old
carnival, is an undisputed
magnet for masks and
costumes. The lagoon is
the scene of an artistic
life renowned for its
refinements.
We met one of the artisans
who specializes in maskmaking,
Alfio di Contin.
He has three workshops in
Venice.
Mirta, one of his employees,
was busy finalizing an order
of over 300 masks for a
reception.
In the second shop, we
admired Alfio’s meticulous
work. Yes, he himself is
passionate about painting
and decorating masks. And
in the third workshop, masks
are formed from templates
or drawings and invented
structures. This workshop
attracts the most passionate
of Venetian art enthusiasts.
If you step into one of his
working areas, don’t be
surprised to be seduced!
The Fontegoart Gallery presents «Unconscious Beauty», paintings by Nicola Tenderini until August
28, 2023. An exhibition promoted by the Venezia Art and Design Assiciazione culturale in collaboration
with Galleria ADmore. www.fontegoart.it
