Description
The magic fascination of Venice is its history, its past, its ever-lasting tradition; it gives life to
precious and special forms of art. Of all the expressive forms, the mask is the object which most represents the Venetian spirit, a spirit of feasting and enjoyment.
In the wake of this tradition,in Calle dei Nomboli
near S. Tom?, opposite the house in which
Carlo Goldoni was born,GUALTIERO DALL'OSTO,
a graduate of the Accademy of Fine Arts of Venice,
keeps this ancient art of mask- making alive in
his TRAGICOMICA workshop.
