Who really was Casanova?

Antonio Trampus, professor of Modern History at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, and Alessandro Marzo Magno, renowned journalist and essayist, discuss who Casanova really was, between historical reality and fiction, culture and imagination, coordinated by Egidio Ivetic, director of the Institute for the History of Venice at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini.

The historians will attempt to take stock, considering the achievements of historiography and taking into account the evolution that the figure of Casanova has undergone in popular culture over the last two centuries. This dialogue comes almost at the end of the Casanova year and represents an opportunity to consider the celebrations at national and international level and to reflect on the future of a character who has contributed to consolidating the myth of Venice.
