The story about the shape of the mask:
The original 'Dottore della Peste' mask ...
One of the most bizarre and distinctive of Italian masquerade masks was that of the Plague Doctor - 'Dottore della Peste'.
Belief was that the plague was spread by 'mal aria' - literally 'bad air'
(hence the illness 'malaria'). The mask was designed with a long, curved 'beak' to create a space between doctor and patient.
The beak would often be filled with fresh herbs - protection not just from 'mal aria' but from the oppressive smells of infection and death.
This Dr. Death mask remains one of the most popular today although the painted designs are no longer black but often white or gold.
