DISCOVER THE STORY

AN AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE

In the Heart of the Eighteenth Century

This is far more than a theatrical reconstruction. Your challenge unfolds within the original walls of Palazzo Soranzo, in Campo San Polo — the very building where Casanova met Senator Matteo Bragadin, the man who would try to save him.

You will not step into a reconstructed set, but into a genuine piece of Venetian history. Every stone, every frieze, every shadow belongs to the real eighteenth century.

THE LEGEND

A night that changed history

It was 1755 when the Venetian authorities imprisoned Giacomo Casanova — adventurer, seducer, and a man of extraordinary intelligence — in the infamous Piombi prisons, the cells beneath the lead roofs of the Doge's Palace, where the summer heat was unbearable and the winter cold could be lethal.
Yet Casanova was unlike any other prisoner. Armed with nothing but audacity, ingenuity, and a nail found by chance, he spent months planning his escape. On the night between October 31 and November 1, 1756 — All Saints' Night — he accomplished the feat that would write his name into history forever.
He was the first — and for a long time the only one — to escape from the Piombi. His escape became legendary throughout Europe.
‘Having studied human nature up close,
I know jailers are men like all the others.
And men make mistakes.’
— Giacomo Giacomo Casanova, Histoire de ma vie

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know

Because you will not be stepping into a reconstructed set, but into a genuine piece of Venetian history. The stones of Palazzo Soranzo date back to the real eighteenth century — the same world in which Casanova lived and made his escape. Every frieze, every shadow, every corridor belongs to that era. An atmosphere no artificial set could ever match.

Audacity, intuition, and above all a sharp eye for detail. Like Casanova himself, you will need to observe every frieze, every inscription, every object around you. No prior historical knowledge is required — only the ability to read what is in front of you and think outside the box.

The essential difference is authenticity. Our experience offers a multi-room narrative tailored to the original Gothic architecture of Palazzo Soranzo. We are not a themed game room: we are a piece of Venetian history brought to life before your eyes.

The game lasts exactly 60 minutes. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early for the initial briefing, your immersion into the story, and to receive your instructions. Arriving late may compromise the group's experience.
