Summary: Italian traditional costumes for Carnival.
Okay, what follows are many pictures involving Carnival costumes. In case you don't know before the anime/cartoon invasion people in Italy would dress up for carnival with the costumes of the characters of the Commedia dell'Arte or with traditional costumes proper of their own region/city.
In short we've a huge amount of traditional costumes... that sadly are slowly being replaced by more popular, more modern costumes.
I couldn't draw them all so here there's a selection of 18 costumes, 2 of which are the ones Veneziano and Romano were drawing in the pic you've already seen. The models for others are the OC I draw for the Italian regions, each of them wearing a costume popular in his own region.
In case you're not familiar with my OC I'll warn you some of them are females, however all of them are wearing male costumes...
By the way many of this costumes involve also the use of a mask, which might cover the face entirely (which is probably why this sort of costumes are simply called 'maschere', masks, in Italian). For obvious reason I didn't draw the masks on the characters' faces.

Mastro di Campo/Mastru du Campu (Sicilia - Mezzojuso): The main character of a local event involving around 100 characters. The Mastro di Campo 'attacks' the 'castle' of the Re (king) and after being 'wounded' and falling he finally wins and conquears the Regina (Queen) as well. It's based on an historical event. By the way the Mastro di Campo wears a red mask that covers his face entirely.
Landzette (Valle d'Aosta - Coumba Freida): Main characters of a local event that parodied the invasion of Napoleon troops in May 1800. The costumes, based on the uniforms of Napoloeon troops, are handmades and filled with coloured paillettes. They also wear a white mask covering the whole face.

Capitan Spaventa dalla Valle Inferna (Liguria - Genova): He belong to the team of the Capitani (captains) among the characters of the Commedia dell'Arte.

(Read more)
Meneghino/Meneghin Pecenna (Lombardia - Milano): A character of the Commedia dell'Arte representing the people from Milan. He's married with Cecca di Berlinghitt and never wears a mask. Although he 'exists' by quite a long time previously the mascot for Milan's carnival was Beltrame/Baltramm de Gaggian. During Risorgimento, Meneghino, who was the embodiement of the Milanese's critical attitude towards the powerful, the rich, and the oppressors of the people became a symbol of the Milanese revolutionary movement against the Austrian oppression. As of now his name is an antonomasia to refer to Milanese people and matters, as well as the Milanese language itself. Even the new model of trains for the Milan Metro Subway system is called "Meneghino" (Read more)
Matocio (Trentino Alto Adige - Valfloriana): Valfloriana Carnival is also known as the 'Carnevale dei Matòci' a traditional procession through the city in which the characters, dressed with beautifully coloured costumes and wearing handmade wooden masks walk through all the city as if it was a wedding procession. The Valfloriana Carnival is one of the few traditional carnival still alive in the Trentino zone and a must see.

Though he's supposed to have the role of the wise guy or of the doctor he uses macharonic Latin and tends to talk too much, boring the other characters. (Read more)
