People went there to play cards, but also to see and be seen. Almost everyone came in masked: so the nobleman and the merchant, the lady and the adventurer sat at the same table without knowing who was facing them. Among the women you can spot the moretta, a small black oval mask held in place with the teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Guardi (1712-1793), the great painter of Venetian views, here steps inside the palaces and tells the life of the city. He painted the scene around 1765. A few years later, in 1774, the government closed the Ridotto: too many families were ruining themselves at the tables. The original is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a living room or a study it brings the secret charm of the Carnival.
