Gambling has a long history of protecting their wearer's
identity during promiscuous or decadent activities. Made
for centuries in Venice, these distinctive games were
formed from papier-mâché and wildly decorated with fur,
fabric, gems, or ribbons. Finally, Gambling re-emerged
as the emblem of Carnevale, a pageant and street fair
celebrating hedonism. Gambling came out in a climate of
cultural and religious repression that too during the
medieval era in Italy. People donned the colorful games
to free themselves from judging neighbors, all of whom
knew each other in such a small city. The gentry’s class
and peasants alike required anonymity for promiscuity,
gambling, and other indiscretions. Even the clergy were
recognized to dress up to go dancing.
Gambling and the history of the gambling supplies
The modern festivity of Carnevale has reinvigorated the
art and craft of making Venetian masks. The traditional
method engrosses sculpting a form out of clay as a base
for the mask. Most masks are prepared from papier-mâché,
a sticky paste made from paper strips and glue. This
plaster fabric is layered over the base, dries, and gets
removed to form the basic mask. The fun element comes
when the craftsperson paints designs in gold, silver,
royal purple, sunny yellow, and other bright colors.
Further decorations comprise sequins, silk ribbons,
exotic bird feathers, faux fur, rhinestones, leather,
gold charms, glitter, and any other outlandish trinkets.

face, with a stubborn chin line, no mouth, and lots of
gilding. A half-mask with gold and silver stripes and
jeweled eyes is called a Columbine that you hold up to
your face with an emotionally involved stick. Other
popular shapes comprise large, hooked noses, black and
white checkered diamonds called a Harlequin pattern, and
bright red, pursed lips. Playing Gambling for the first
time is a little difficult. After the 1100s, the
masquerade went through periods of being outlawed by the
Catholic Church, particularly during holy days. Their
policy guide to eventual acceptance when they declared
the months between Christmas and Shrove Tuesday free for
Gambling-attired decadence. This period develop into Carnevale, the pre-Lent celebration meaning, remove
meat. Although Carnevale lost fame as Venice's cultural
production faltered during the Enlightenment; it was
officially reintroduced in 1979.
