The art of paper-mâché was profoundly innovated by the masters of the Viareggio Carnival. In 1925, in this Tuscan city, the technique of paper-mâché was perfected, allowing the construction of the large floats that parade every year during the Carnival. During the workshop, Master Craftsman Marzia Etna will show some techniques for working with and decorating paper-mâché. Clay models, chalk molds, newspaper and glue, made from water and flour, are the ingredients for creating not only masks but also decorations and household objects.

Master Craftsman Gherardo Filistrucchi will unveil the art of makeup and stage illusion, helping participants to decorate a mask. The ancient wig-making tradition combined with the makeup techniques of the Filistrucchi Atelier passed down from generation to generation the ancient secrets of the craft. Together with the latest modern innovations, these techniques guarantee the high-quality artisanal results today.
