Carnival Feathers Used For Masks

The idea of the masks with carnival feathers began centuries ago with the introduction of masquerade balls, in which all who attend wear masks and costumes. The Carnival of Venice in particular is a famous annual event in Italy where similar masks are prominent. And over the years, these masks have evolved and developed in countries around the world. All putting their own style and flavor to the masks.

Popular Types of Masks

Carnival feathers have been used in masks for centuries. Here are some popular types of masks you will see from around the world:

• Columbina
• Medico della Peste
• Zanni 
• Volto 
• Moretta

The Columbina is a mask that does not cover the entire face. When you see someone with this mask, there are usually gems and ostrich plumes attached. The original idea for this mask came from a character in an Italian theater who did not want to cover her entire face. A less stunning looking mask, though recognizable, is the Medico della Peste. This is the mask with the large, beak-like nose.

Prior to use in masquerades, it was first used by a doctor in the 17th century to protect himself from airborne diseases. Zanni is another face-covering with a long nose. The Volto (or "larva") mask is basically simple and white, though is usually embellished with paint, gemstones, feathers or plating. A similar mask is the Moretta. Though it is black and is not normally seen with any ostrich feathers. It was traditionally held in place by the mouth.
