Name of Shop: La Bottega dei Mascareri
"La Bottega dei Mascareri" of the brothers Sergio and Massimo Boldrin is located at the foot of the Rialto bridge and has been open since 1984. This shop offers AUTHENTIC masks which the brothers work in a centuries-old craft.
The shop is quite small and also serves as their workshop. Therefore, if you shop there, you are able to see the craftsmen at work.
Before you walk into the actual shop, you may want to look at the photographs of some famous people who have used their services.
Note that the masks from the movie, "Eyes Wide Shut" were made at "La Bottega dei Mascareri". We worked with Sergio Boldrin and were delighted with his "down-to-earth" attitude and non pressure sales technique.
He autographs the masks for you and will pack and mail them. We purchased a large solar/lunar/woman to send to the USA, and it arrived in four days.
Even if you do not purchase anything, it is just a delightful experience to meet the brothers and to see for yourself the quality of original work they do.
What To Buy: One can find such a variety of masks in this shop. Medieval figures such as court jongleurs, eighteenth-century life, commedia dell'arte masks of Pantalone, Arlecchini and Zanni, and original lunar and solar pieces in gilt.
You can be assured of the quality because their masks have appeared in international fashion design displays, in films, and in the California Shakespeare festivals. In addition, articles have been written about their work all over Europe and the United States as well as in travel books and magaziens.
What To Pay: Depending on what you select, you can pay between 15 Euro up to 500+Euro.
