# Giacomo Casanova: Childhood and Adolescence (1969)

1969 · 123 min · Comedy, History · Italy

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

## Synopsis

Giacomo Casanova: Childhood and Adolescence, internationally released as Casanova: His Youthful Years, is a 1969 Italian comedy film directed by Luigi Comencini. It tells the youth of Giacomo Casanova, who, after an unhappy childhood and early ecclesiastical activity in Venice, became an abbot and abandoned his vocation for the love of a countess. Despite the plot, more than a portrait of Casanova, the film is more of a vivid fresco of the Venetian society of the time.
