In 15th century Renaissance, Masquerade Balls were an extremely popular form of entertainment with the nobility of Venice; and arguably, Masquerade was popular long before that, possibly even as far back as the 1300s. Now, when we think of a Masquerade Ball or Party, our imagination is immediately set to overdrive. There is the notion of luxurious fabrics ornately decorated with jewels and lace and ribbons (and not only for the women!) along with elaborate hairstyles, dancing and music and of course, the ever-alluring Masquerade Mask.<\/p>\n

It is astounding how the mystique of these outrageous parties has retained its attraction to the current day, and it doesn\u2019t look like slowing down any time soon. We are still drawn to the ostentatious costumes and outlandish behavior of the Masquerade culture, with a sense of excitement and seduction that no other type of party has to offer. The sheer opulence of Venice in those times when the nobility went out to \u2018play\u2019 is simply quite staggering and today we are still enthralled and excited when we imagine the lavish and extravagant parties they once had.<\/p>\n
