The Beccaccia (Woodcock)  is a nose mask of the Zanni family, who were cunning servants of the  wealthy Venetian merchants and noble families in the past. An iconic  character of the Commedia dell'Arte  which resembled a bird, he used to wonder around the Venetian "calli"  (streets) to turn the city upside down with his proverbial recklessness.  An unstoppable dancer on starry nights, he also used to bring joy and  filled the "Campielli" (squares) with the sound  of his lute.
 
In keeping  with the Campiello tradition, every mask we produce comes from a model  we make ourselves. The papier-mâché placed by hand and the brilliant  bitumen-aged gold leaf, will make you experience  the priceless feeling of holding a unique piece in your hands.
To ensure  greater comfort, each wearable model is equipped with an internal  cushion. The mask forehead cut is available in two different versions:  one with the original model cut and a second one with  a shorter forehead to make it more wearable.
