Batman, Spiderman and the Phantom of the Opera all owe something to the tradition of 17th Century Venice. Huh? No, Spiderman wasn’t adopted from a historical character. I’m not sure that they even had genetically altered spiders in the Venetian republic. I’m talking about masks! I am sure you have seen the beautiful Venetian masks in many Hollywood movies. Today at italianpod101 we are going to take a detailed look at how and when they were used in real life! In this series, we’ll use all Italian blogs to explore the people and places of Italy. Today immerse yourself in Italian, and learn about Venice and its fabulous masks, while learning Italian. For the English translation, review exercises, and for easier courses on Italian, visit ItalianPod101.com! Ciao!
