On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of Giacomo Casanova’s birth, a special exhibition is proposed to celebrate the myth of this iconic figure through the lens of art and cinema, with a particular focus on Federico Fellini’s cinematic masterpiece Casanova (1976).

The project involves the Museo Fellini in Rimini and collaboration with the Sartoria Farani, which preserves the original costumes designed by Danilo Donati for the film. Also on display will be three paintings by the 18th-century painter Giambattista Pittoni and a portrait of Casanova attributed to Pietro Longhi, along with numerous Casanova-related documents from the Ravà collection held at the Correr Library.
The exhibition will offer opportunities for reflection on Venetian history and culture, linking the figure of Casanova to the most innovative interpretations in the cinema.

Admission to the exhibition with the Museum’s hours and ticket.
