In 1993 Agostino Dessì took part in ArteSenza, the art festival in the old quarter of Brescia, with an exhibition and a course on papier-mâché mask making at the Atelier degli Artisti.
He designed and built the masks for the travelling show and the parade, and showed the students of the art schools how a mask is born. In 1995 a room of the Atelier degli Artisti was dedicated to his masks again.
