Casanova escape from Venice prison
Italians are often considered latin lovers and hopeless romantics. This meaning derives from a long historical and literary tradition, based on representative icons of the fascinating Italian passion. One of most known heartbreaking character is the Venezia-born Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798). Despite his wide literature production - he was officially a poet and writer - he is mainly remembered as a charmer and a libertine gentleman who travelled a lot, made numerous adventures and had countless gallant encounters.
This 6-days tour accompanies you through the engaging itinerary that Casanova really covered in his incredible escape from Venice prisons, where he had been imprisoned by the State Inquisitors of the Republic of Venezia.
