Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Jester Mask and how is it related to Commedia dell'arte?

The history of Jester Venetian masks is closely tied to the rich tradition of the Venetian Carnival and the Commedia dell'arte, a popular form of Italian theater that emerged in the 16th century.

The Commedia dell'arte was a form of improvisational theater characterized by masked performers who portrayed stock characters with distinct personalities. One of these characters was Arlecchino, a mischievous and acrobatic servant known for his colorful costume and cunning tricks. Arlecchino's mask and costume later influenced the design of Jester masks.

When did Jester masks become popular?

The Venetian Carnival, which dates back to the 12th century, provided a festive backdrop for the emergence of Jester masks. During the carnival season, which typically lasted from December 26th to Shrove Tuesday, people from all walks of life would don masks and costumes to engage in revelry, disguise their identities, and indulge in various forms of entertainment.
