Li troviamo sulle facciate di antichi palazzi, musei e portoni, con le loro espressioni truci: sono i Mascheroni Barocchi di Torino.
Ibridi di fantasia riproducenti il volto umano o fitomorfi con forme ripescate dal mondo vegetale e sono uno diverso dall’altro.
Generalmente i mascheroni sono realizzati in gesso, marmo, pietra e cemento e rappresentano caricature di stati d’animo: l’ira, la paura, l’ingenuità, lo scherno, l’allegria.
Il perché di tali decorazioni si deve ricercare nelle famiglie nobiliari del tempo, che utilizzavano i mascheroni negli stemmi araldici come simbolo di forza, eleganza e sfrontatezza.
