Italian Festival -- Art and Pasta
the poster says.
It was my first time to see the 3-day festival put on every summer by the Museum of Italian Jewish Art.
Masked and costumed actors interacted with the crowd.
Their funny antics were billed as Commedia dell'arte.
I'm reading now that this kind of improvised drama started in 14th century Italy.
More pictures from the event tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteDidint you eat any pasta?? It looks like a very fun festival..
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of Venice and the beautiful Carnival masks.
ReplyDeleteThanks everybody. Wish you had been here at the festival too.
ReplyDeleteTD, I didn't eat pasta; too busy looking for photo ops.
Kay, on the 14th. Thanks for the good wishes. It was a good day.
How cool that the actors interacted with the audience.
