     One of the most famous and mysterious adventurers of XVIII-th century, whose name became a synonym of happy lover, was a Venetian and the son of the Commedie dell'Arte's actors, so a Theater was in his blood. Casanova was the playwright, the director, and the performer at the theater of his life. In his memoirs, written in old age already - the escape from the terrible Venetian "Leaden prison", literary conversations and religious disputes, military uniform and the mask " la bauta " (which named now "Casanova mask"), gondola and traveling coach, books and playing cards, intrigue and philosophy, and - women, women, women… All cobwebs by his events-rich life pass before our eyes again, excite our imagination. Although it is not important already - whether everything was in real, or it was a last invention of the Great Mystifier.
