THE LEGEND

A night that changed history

It was 1755 when the Venetian authorities imprisoned Giacomo Casanova, adventurer, seducer, and man of extraordinary intelligence, in the notorious Piombi prisons — the cells beneath the lead roofs of the Doge's Palace, where in summer the heat became unbearable, and in winter the cold was deadly.
Yet, Casanova was not like the other prisoners. Armed only with audacity, ingenuity, and a nail found by chance, he planned his escape for months. On the night between October 31 and November 1, 1756 — All Saints' Eve — he accomplished the feat that would write his name in history forever.
He was the first — and for a long time, the only one — to escape from the Piombi. His escape became a legend throughout Europe.
"I began to search, to invent, to examine a hundred ways of accomplishing an enterprise which many before me had perhaps attempted, but which no one had succeeded in completing."
— Giacomo Casanova, Histoire de ma vie
