QUOTE(trail_of_memories @ Mar 27 2005, 6:27 PM) do research (google it)  If you're not going to help her/him, then please refrain from posting. The point of this forum is to help in more ways then telling others to "research" on their own. I believe the balls came to the Venetian around 1500s (I don't recall the exact year). I remember reading somewhere that they were a carnival, of sort, and spread widely because there was a lack of entertainment. After a while, the rich began organizing them into masquerade balls. All sorts of people attended the public masquerades, but there were private ones where only the higher class are invited. This wikipedia link can tell you more than I can. |
