CARNEVALE DI VENEZIA
Lecture and Photographic Presentation by Anita Sanseverino
Tuesday, March 31st at 6:30PM
You are cordially invited to attend a lecture and DVD based photo presentation on the centuries-old tradition of Carnevale by acclaimed photographer Anita Sanseverino at the Italian American Museum on Tuesday, March 31st. Authentic Venetian carnival masks from Anita's own collection will be on display as well.
Carnival masks are the hallmark of il Carnevale di Venezia, which began in the 13th Century, and the wearing of masks and costumes was well established by 1436, when mask makers or mascareri were officially recognized with their own guild. Historically, masquerading was a shared practice among Venetians, regardless of social stature. It was the "great equalizer" of its day. The average citizen found that by wearing a mask they could be anyone they wished to be, regardless of their social status; by being hidden behind the mask, they could escape the restrictions of Venetian society.
Anita's vibrant and beautifully photographed essay of Venetian masks presents viewers with a visual perspective of the famed revelry and rituals of the Carnevale. With the breathtaking city of Venice as her backdrop, her well-timed camera records many faces of mystery. Lone figures that haunt, romantic couples that shout their closeness with coordinated ensembles, individuals who surrender to a united theme-all are among the thousands of free-spirited actors playing out their fantasy roles on the Carnevalestage.
Tuesday, March 31st, 6:30PM,Italian American Museum 155 Mulberry Street
(Corner of Grand and Mulberry Streets) New York, NY 10013
Suggested donation of $10 per person
For reservations, please call the Italian American Museum at(212) 965-9000

Inside New York's Biggest Chinese Restaurant
It's a Sunday morning in the dead of winter, and there's already a crowd outside Jing Fong, New York's biggest Chinese restaurant. Groups of all sizes and ages-trendy young Asian-Americans with oversized glasses and drop-crotch sweatpants, people who could be their parents, confused white families-stand clutching slips of paper with numbers scrawled on them. At the front is a woman with a microphone, her demeanor somewhere between a stressed school-trip chaperone and a People's Liberation Army general. The wait, she says, is an hour. Continue Reading...
