“Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth”.

Oscar Wilde’s quote is a favorite of Giorgio Iurcotta, who owns Balocoloc Venetian Masks in the USA. The Balocoloc artisans make unique, customized papier-maché masks in authentic Venetian styles. Their historical designs are meticulously researched for accuracy and hand-crafted using traditional methods. The Balocoloc collection includes elegant designs for masquerade balls and macabre masks for Halloween, such as the Plague Doctor from the Commedia dell’Arte.
