They would either buy or make these elaborate masks to wear during this celebration. The mask’s secrecy enabled a certain anonymity that allowed anyone to be whoever they wanted to be, softening the rigid social hierarchy.

This was the last chance to indulge on all the food and wine possible before fasting for Lent. They held parades, wore masks, and danced in the streets. Masquerade balls evolved out of adopted traditions. Because of its roots, masquerade balls were notoriously labeled as nights of debauchery.

The girl's dress is very detailed and she is wearing a lot of jewels and diamonds so this dress was probably worm by the rich in the olden days.

One scholar argued that covering the face in public was a uniquely Venetian response to one of the most rigid class hierarchies in European history. During the Carnival of Venice, the sumptuous laws were suspended, and people could dress as they liked, instead of according to the rules that were set down in law for their profession and social class. Therefore, allowing the poor to interact with the rich. This allows the people to be able to have more connections and better relationships. This also breaks the barrier of financial discrimination back then.

As their population grew, so did their living restrictions, and in 1516 Venetian authorities forced all Jews to live in confinement in the "geti," which is where the modern-day term of "ghetto" is derived. In this gated islet, Jews lived in lockdown by night but were allowed to trade by day as long as they wore an insignia.

The masks are typically worn during the Carnival Of Venice and has been used for many other purposes in the past, such as hiding one's identity and social status so that the wearer would be able to act more freely in cases where he or she wanted to interact with other members of the society outside the bounds of identity and everyday convention. The mask has been an extremely significant part of the Venetian culture and till this day, the Carnival Of Venice still takes place.
