Covering the face is an effective way to prevent others from penetrating our innermost self, from unveiling what is ours alone, because the face is an open door onto the soul.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Our hands, then, are our first mask, and after them come the thousand masks of a personal repertoire we use to tell the story of who we are not, who we would like to be, or who we would never want to be.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In this choral exercise, each author has engaged with the symbolic theme of the mask; the result is an array of screens, more or less filtering, at times striking for the zoomorphic specters they evoke, at others delicate, enigmatic or hermetic.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It is a delight to imagine who lies hidden behind these masks, masterfully crafted by the highly skilled artisan Diego Moretti, who has been able to pour into each work his love for wood and for his native Sardinia \u2014 the mythical land of the most intense and authentic masks in the entire Mediterranean basin.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0818-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0806-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7983\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0731-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7986\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0873-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7981\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0590-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7982\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0685-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7996\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0857-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0759-600x693.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"693\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7989\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0769-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7995\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0830-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7987\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0740-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7991\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giulioiacchetti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/maschere0774-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-start\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Message actions\">\n<div class=\"text-text-300\">\n<div class=\"text-text-300 flex items-stretch justify-between\">\n<div class=\"w-fit\" data-state=\"closed\">\n<div class=\"relative text-text-500 group-hover\/btn:text-text-100\">\n<div class=\"transition-all opacity-100 scale-100\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>name: Mask &#8211;
