The Official Museum of Giacomo Casanova
Welcome to my home. We are in Palazzo Zaguri, the place that best preserves the traces of my story. Here, in rooms that have witnessed encounters, ideas and confessions, my voice again intertwines with memories: the rustle of fabrics on Venetian nights, laughter in salons, hurried steps along calli that I knew by heart. Within these rooms you will relive my journeys, my falls and starts again: are you ready to begin this journey with me?
