Giacomo Casanova: Childhood and Adolescence

Original title: Infanzia, vocazione e prime esperienze di Giacomo Casanova, veneziano

Directed by Luigi Comencini

Through the childhood and adolescence of Signor Giacomo Casanova (from his memoirs), this is a description of how people lived in 18th-century Venice: their customs, habits, medicine, religion, and--most of all--the omnipresence of hypocrisy.
