In Short – A tiny space filled with delicate, collectible, Venetian carnival masks. Several "Do Not Touch" signs dot the walls, making browsers a little self-conscious. Intricately hand-sewn men's and women's 18th- and 19th-century costumes by Italian designer Antonia Munaretti are displayed on mannequins to show their full detail. Designer Alfredo Lagia creates bustiers made of copper and Swarvoski crystals in varying designs to fit daring women. Some smaller gift items include blown-glass calligraphy pens and ink wells and hand-crafted furniture miniatures by Manuzio.
