Venetian Masks

Handmade masks are one of the most popular and desirable Venetian souvenirs. Ca’ Macana is among the oldest mask workshops in Venice and one that keeps the age-old artistic traditions very much alive, thus making it one of the best places to buy a Venetian mask. The masks for the Eyes Wide Shut movie were even made here.
While entering the shop, you’ll be fascinated by the demonstration of a wide range of colourful masks that are made in accordance with the authentic craftsmanship traditions dating back to the 13th century. If you, despite the odds, fail to find a mask you like, you can enroll yourself in a one- or two-hour course and learn how to make your own.
