Masked balls

Masked balls are social events where attendees wear disguises or masks, often paired with elegant attire, to conceal their identities. Historically popular in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, these events offered a sense of mystery and freedom, allowing guests to interact freely without social constraints. Masks provided anonymity, encouraging playful, flirtatious, or anonymous interactions. Today, masked balls are often formal parties or themed events, blending tradition with entertainment, where participants enjoy the allure of mystery while engaging in dancing, conversation, and socializing.
