The first two are, I'm pretty sure, representations of actors masks. This guy however just looks pissed off, though if I had to carry a big bowl I probably would be too, he might be some sort of satyr but I'm going purely on the beard.
In case you hadn't figured it out we visited the Vatican today. We firstly went through a gallery with a whole bunch of statues, then there was one with a whole bunch of tapestry's, then frescoes, then we looked at Raphael's frescoes, then the Sistine chapel. I'm very glad we went on a tour or we would have waited forever to get in. The chick who took us around learnt English in NZ. There were little earpieces so we could wander and still hear what she was talking about, there was also a flag, which was more of an emaciated scarf, on the end of an aerial pole so we wouldn't get lost.This guy looks kind of Asian, well, at least to me.
Not technically a crazy face but rather a depiction of Janus (yes, the same name as the café down from Brenda and Bill’s house) of which there were many and varied. These were interspersed with herms in a gallery with frescos of maps (several of them upside down).
