The mission: Your story in Venice
Casanova context
A real Venetian memoirist beyond the seducer stereotype
Giacomo Casanova was born in Venice in 1725 and became a writer, traveler, gambler and adventurer whose memoir records European society as well as his relationships. His reputation as a seducer can overshadow the complexity and self-serving nature of his own account. This quest uses Casanova-era Venice for an original story rather than reenacting one verified romance.
