“You see, Mr. Vidón, back in the day in Venezia, anyone could disguise themselves in a bauta mask: ricco o povero, uomo o donna, it didn’t matter. You had to treat everyone in a bauta mask with respect, because you never knew whose face was underneath. It was a way for everyone to play, to have fun together, to make everyone equal, for a little while, anyway. This mask, it was a tool for freedom.” FreedomHistorySal And GabiVeneziaBauta Mask Book:Sal and Gabi Break the Universe Source: Sal and Gabi Break the Universe
