The Volto mask is a popular Venetian masquerade-inspired mask because the style is comfortable to wear. It is also called a Larva mask because it used to be mainly white in color, which can make a buyer appear ghost-like when wearing the design.
The Volto Mask’s Design
Many years ago, the Volto mask covered only part of the wearer’s face, which allowed the wearer to eat and drink without removing the mask. The style was typically worn by men at the Venice Carnevale and other events, and revelers often wore a black cloak and black tri-cornered hat to complete their costumes. Modern masks are usually full-face designs, available in many colors as well as traditional white.
The Volto Mask’s Popularity
The Volto mask was so popular in Venice hundreds of years ago that it was worn on all holidays, including Sensa Feast Day and Saint Marco’s Day. Modern Volto masks are highly collectible. Consumers can buy the style for masquerade parties and later hang them on their walls to decorate their homes.
A customer can find a colorful design that matches his or her home decor and can place masks throughout the home or dedicate a special wall for their display.
Although traditional Volto masks were made with fine wax cloth, modern designs can be made from a variety of materials, including ceramic, porcelain, leather, or the original glass technique
