The carnival tradition
Morsano di Strada (UD) was started in 1929, while a few years later, in 1946,
he began to see the first floats and masked groups.
In 1980 he founded the group "Lis Mascaris" Triveneto only
group that can count on 30 years of uninterrupted activity.
The Association owes part of its reputation as the only carnival group
in the world, devoted to the particular research that makes for many years to
create masks which, starting from the technique of papier mache, come now to
the use of materials that are normally used in aircraft such as carbon fiber
honeycomb composite materials, Kevlar, the fabric of glass and resin of
various kinds.
And in particular different types and themes in the representations
that were made in all these years, ranging: from historical representations,
the mythological references, etc. to the newspaper, with measures that reach
90x180 cm.
These masks are the setting of the majestic costumes made with sumptuous
fabric and silver laminate combined with gold and silver lace and adorned
with lavish, brilliant pins of various shapes.
The original use of these materials have allowed him to achieve
excellent results and as will be explained below numerous awards nationally
and internationally.
The Association of Morsano Street has also had the unique privilege of
having marched in the carnival world's most important, namely that of Rio de
Janeiro in the closing night of "Night of Champions".
You want to remember, moreover, the fourteen consecutive wins in the
competition "Silver Mask of Abano Terme," the special award
"Bolgan Nino", and the three awards by the Veneto Region as
the best group masked for creativity, research materials and processing
techniques.
No less important is the prestigious "Golden Griffon" obtained in
the town of Abano Terme for research, study and application of innovative
techniques and materials in the creation of masks. This award ranks among
those who have received names including that of Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi
Montalcini.
Moreover, the group was host to the historic event, "The Carnival
of gnocchi" in Verona, where he was awarded the "Best Group
manufacturer of masks."
"Lis Mascaris" also participated in the carnival of hundred years
"Carnival of Europe", to Carnival Cream and Cortina, the events of
Nisa in Portugal, Saalbak Austria, for Abbey in Croatia and the biggest
carnival of 'Europe in Nice, France.
Participation as a guest to remember the TV show "Zecchino
d'Oro" at the 40th edition, and numerous appearances in national and
local networks.
Worthy of mention are the numerous exhibitions held over the years, reminding
one of the most prestigious ones held in Pordenone, Abano Terme, Abano terme.
Finally it must be stressed that it is the only group in the Italian and
European to have marched in several carnivals in Cuba, Holy Spirit, Trinidad
and that of the capital Havana, where he met with great success.
Here "Mascaris Lis", as well as they have been received from
leading authorities such as the Cuban Minister of Culture, as a reminder
Presidentissimo the unforgettable meeting with Fidel Castro, who has honored
the group with one of his creations.
During the 45 th anniversary of the founding of the PAN, "LIS
MASCARIS", in collaboration with the 313 Squadron Aerobatic Training
"Tricolour Arrows", has created "The flight of Icarus to the
Tricolour Arrows".
The thirteen masks cover the history World Air passing through the
most important steps.
Also you want to remember that the group was invited to present some of his
work in Venezuela, where he could meet the communities in Friuli, Italian and
not in the cities of Caracas, Puerto La Cruz Valencia and Chorus.
Following all this, the theme STARS IN LAGUNA, which takes in some respects
some processing techniques already known to the group, while the themes are
based on simple images with historical references, geographical or cultural
in our daily lives.
Beautiful pictures in front of the airbrush painted masks, special
clothing crescent-shaped golden or silver embellished with satin and tulle.
The pride of our Association is a mask for Beijing, which was performed to
accompany the participating nations
the qualifying tournament for Beijing 2008 Olympic softball,
Disputatio in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The 12 masks taking pictures simple but unique to these countries
(South Africa saw the lion, the windmill to the Netherlands, etc. ..) while
the side featuring their national flags.
Majestic costumes in shades of gold and silver fabrics embellished
with rhinestones and brooches.
So in 2009, "Lis Mascaris" celebrating 25 years of
uninterrupted activity, suggesting that the masks, chronologically from the
construction point of view, structural and technical milestones have marked
the most significant (starting from papier mache, leather, to fiberglass, to
start to kevlar) as well as from the point you do not forget the references
thematically in Rio de Janeiro, Cuba, and Tricolour Arrows etc. ..
Particularly interesting is the back of the mask decorated with
papier-mâché faces of great value, while the clothes from the base rounded
reach considerable size.
Another fascinating topic is created with the title "Celtic
Sorceries", as they have tried to present the masks that reflect an
ancient theme, but very modern in its complexity. They are used in the front
of the mask, rather gloomy and scary figures: like ghosts, skeletons, skulls,
ect., Which in this context take on a positive meaning, of reincarnation, in
that complex cycle are: the birth, life and the death.
The interpretation of this subject that has enthralled and interested man
since ancient times for its peculiarities, is a world where witches, wizards,
orcs, etc.., Were protagonists of fantastic legends and stories of
incredible, where the reader or the audience has always been attracted to
these stories of terror, excitement, magic and scary themes, but where,
however, the supernatural power of witches has always been something
intriguing, prodigious also seductive.
Since ancient times these figures were represented along with a spinning,
weaving in the act of nodes, ie, as if to recall the idea of revenge,
weaving the destiny of man, so here's the reason for the stylization of the
web the front of the mask. Given the funereal theme Treaty, it was decided to
pack clothes in a round shape with bright colors and shiny, as if to
emphasize the contrast with an argument so bleak and sad.
The association has participated in the tour in Uruguay, where he
received applause from nearly half a million people, the members of "Lis
mascaris" Bite of the road. It 'was, as it informs the president of the
association, Edi Todaro, crowned by unforgettable experience exciting because
consensus. The group marched with giant artistic masks made for the event
(special attention was given to the front of work, where the masterly use
Airbrush incorporates some aspects of everyday life of the lagoon areas of
Friuli). She was also applauded the event of Colonia del Sacramento, a UNESCO
heritage city. "For us - Todaro said - was a huge success, because in Uruguay
had never seen masks like that. Another big parade was held in East Point,
the Monte Carlo of South America, while the third performance, certainly the
most important took place in Montevideo, the capital of the country, in front
of over 300 000 people, with the People stood to cheer. Finally, the masks
marched in "Tablada", huge open-air theaters. Our delegation was
received by the Italian ambassador in Uruguay satata. We also donated a mask
at the Museum of Carnival in Montevideo, in the presence of ministers, mayors
and other authorities. Then the meeting memorable with our emigrants, the
headquarters of the "Fame Friulian" in Montevideo. Finally, the
icing, and that is the meeting with the president, Tabare Vazquez, to which
