-History of the mask/a double legend weaves the fate of this mask in the shape of a cat.
From ancient texts it would appear to be a “sacred” animal for the city of Venice since it would have saved it from the terrible plague of the 16th century by managing to defeat the mice that carried the scourge.
Reference is made to an ancient manuscript, which would tell that the doge himself had sent his ships to Egypt and Syria to transport the cats to Venice.
But this mask is also called in the Venetian dialect “Gnaga” a mask worn very often during the carnival even by men who dressed up as women and imitated the meowing of cats with a shrill voice.
