Happy birthday, Casanova!
To commemorate him, I’ve begun a series of videos featuring Casanova locations in Venice.
These won’t be in any particular order–except what I happened to be walking by that day! I only had time to do six locations when I was in Venice last February. I hope to make more this summer (and I supposed I’ll be dressed quite differently then!)
Someone asked me, “Why four minutes with Casanova?”
The answer is not very deep. I happened to like the alliteration of “quattro,” “con,” and “Casanova.” And if you see the videos, you’ll see that four minutes is a moving target that I didn’t always hit successfully. But hopefully, you’ll learn a little something, or be entertained, and also enjoy seeing the location rather than just reading these stories in my book.
Manuel Carrion, owner of Carrion Gallery on Giudecca, is opening a show called “Spying on History with Casanova,” and he’ll be featuring my videos with the other artwork. Here’s a link to his event:

I wonder how Casanova would celebrate his birthday? Maybe with a glass of something yummy. Pour yourself one and enjoy a video while you sip!
Love the four minute format!! And of course the CORRECT information on “Casanova’s house!!” You look great, maybe a little cold but great!! It is always great to see what you are up to!!
Yeah, it’s chilly in February! But at least it didn’t rain on me. Isn’t it cool that a gondola went by?
I will have to watch these on my PC since, for some reason, my laptop has stopped letting me watch videos.
