Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Giacomo Casanova was the child of a love match between two actors. His father, with the grand name of Gaetano Giuseppe Giacomo Casanova, had left his family in Parma, moved to Venice, and joined a company of actors at the San Samuele theater. He fell in love with a young actress named Giovanna Farussi, and they were married by a bishop on February 17, 1724.

#2 Casanova’s childhood was uneventful. He barely rememberd anything until the age of eight, and even then, he didn’t think it was interesting. He loved his grandmother Marzia, who raised him.

#3 Casanova’s life was a drama, and he understood it that way. He thought of his life as a commedia, which is any kind of drama, not just comic. Venice was a unique city, and Casanova took that for granted.

#4 Casanova loved Venice, and he loved the local language, which was a romance language in its own right. He also loved the theater, and Zanetta was a star. He never acted himself, but he was always a theatrical improviser.
