Venice, Italy – Part 1

Venezia, the city floating on water.

    

 

   

  Found the brothers Sergio and Massimo Boldrin shop at the foot of Rialto bridge. Chat up with Sergio to know that La Bottega's creations are completely handmade from papier-mâché ie the traditional way. Coincidentally, he also knows the mask maker I met in Florence. He then kindly invite me to their studio to show me more of his work. Watch in action here.

Rialto Bridge. First to be constructed across Grand Canal.

At the Boldrin brothers studio.

He got me all dressed up after showing me how he make mask…

Best of all… The mask in his hand was a gift for me, with his signature at the back!!!
