Venecia, 1755. Después de diez largos años recorriendo Europa, Giacomo Casanova regresa finalmente a su ciudad natal y a la que siempre ha pertenecido su corazón. Pero esta agoniza en medio de la violencia y la miseria, lejos del brillo del pasado. El regreso de su joven más rebelde se convierte en todo un acontecimiento y, aclamado por sus habitantes, Casanova no desperdicia ocasión alguna para llamar la atención entre nobles y gentes de la corte. Muy pronto, la condesa austriaca Margarethe von Steinberg le lanza un desafío: seducir a la jovencísima Francesca Erizzo antes de que contraiga matrimonio. Un reto que el célebre seduc tor acepta sin prever los sentimientos que la joven Francesca despertarán en él ni el peligro que se esconde detrás de ese aparente juego cortesano. Porque las altas instancias de la ciudad solo tienen un objetivo: acabar con Casanova antes de que se convierta en una auténtica amenaza para los intereses de la República de Venecia.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"''Adventure, love, politics: an 18th century narration told in Strukul''s quick-paced style, with a sudden violence in which the State is also a protagonist and with the art of Venice in the background.'' Il Mattino
 
Venice, 1755. After ten long years traveling through Europe, Giacomo Casanova finally returns to his native city and to that which his heart has always belonged. But the city is suffering in the middle of violence and misery, far from it''s past glory. The return of its most rebellious youth becomes a big event, and acclaimed by its inhabitants, Casanova doesn''t waste any occasion to get the attention of the nobles and aristocrats. Very soon, the Austrian countess Margareth von Steinberg throws him a challenge: seduce the very young Francesca Erizzo before she gets married. A challenge the famous seducer accepts without foreseeing the feelings that the young Francesca will awaken in him, or the danger that''s hidden behind this apparent courtly game. Because the high levels of society have only one goal: end Casanova before he becomes a real threat the interests of the Republic of Venice." Less
