Like the Japanese Noh masks, Italian Commedia Dell'arte masks find their roots in the theatre. Actors wear classical masks representing their particular role's character. Commedia Dell'arte masks often have emphasised features, making them a wonderful way to express certain generalised character traits. A dramatic and traditional choice for any masquerade event or ball, a Commedia Dell'arte mask is a piece of art in its own right and is sure to be a talking point at any masked event.
