Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It's the year 1753. Giacomo Casanova is waiting for a promise made by his mother several years ago. Meanwhile, he spends big time in Venice as an infamous lover and seducer for several ladies, something that the Church has not tolerated for a long time. When Casanova is finally apprehended, his friend and protector the Doge has had enough of his cheekiness and gives him one chance for redemption by finding a decent woman and marry. He finds a good chance with Victoria—the "pure" daughter of Mr. Donato—who actually lusts for him every time.Casanova ends up meeting a beautiful, ahead-of-her-time woman named Francesca Bruni, who despises what he's doing. She also is inconveniently engaged to a butter merchant from Genova she's never met, Paprizzio. Both defiant and betrothed, Casanova begins to slowly fall in love with her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Also, her clumsy brother Giovanni is jealous of him for conquering the heart of Victoria, with whom he has been in love for some time. Casanova unwillingly must impersonate several people, including Paprizzio and Guardi, and use the picaresque in order to get closer to Francesca. Also, the Church has sent a cruel inquisitor to Venice to stop Casanova's schemes. Hilarity Ensues.Casanova is another approximation of the Casanova myth, this time in a rom-com style with Heath Ledger playing the titular character and directed in 2005 by Lasse Hallström. It also stars Sienna Miller as Francesca, Natalie Dormer as Victoria, Charlie Cox as Giovanni, Oliver Platt as Paprizzio, Lena Olin as Ms. Bruni, Jeremy Irons as inquisitor Pucci.

Parental Abandonment: Casanova's mother leaves him as a child with his grandmother and flees Venice with her lover, promising to come back. He never stops waiting for her. His faith is justified in the end.

Politically Correct History
 Casanova / int_7e74d66f
comment
Politically Correct History: Set in 18th-century Venice, it features an emancipated female scientist, who writes books and, as it seems, invented the hot-air balloon. Also justified in that most other characters, male or female, don't accept her. Though Francesca's character is fictional, Emilie du Chatelet (Voltaire's mistress), is a Real Life example, whose writings included a French translation of Isaac Newton's Principia. Newton did anticipate the hot-air balloon.

Took a Level in Badass
 Casanova / int_9bcd82c0
comment
Took a Level in Badass: Papprizzio, of all people. After being wrongly racked by Pucci under false accusation of being Casanova, Papprizzio is mutually flirting up a storm with Andrea (Francesca's mother) when Pucci appears. Papprizzio lifts a papal inquisitor bodily off his feet by his collar. This only improves Andrea's opinion of him.

Hypercompetent Sidekick: Pucci is no fool, but his second-in-command is notably smarter than he is, and usually seems to figure out what's going on just before Pucci does. Notably, when they both see Casanova and Francesca in the hot air balloon, Pucci deems it witchcraft while the second-in-command starts explaining the scientific principle of it, before giving up and agreeing that it's witchcraft.

Holier Than Thou
 Casanova / int_d1ceb951
comment
Holier Than Thou: The Inquisitor Pucci, played by Jeremy Irons. Rather than speaking about forgiveness, redemption, or any attempt to save the souls of those ostensibly under his care as a member of the Church, Pucci's goals all seem to revolve around control. There also appears to be an entire order of nuns willing to add another notch to Casanova's bedpost. When admonished for risking (or perhaps earning, in the eyes of the inquisitor), eternal damnation for a single night with Casanova, the response is "seems fair."
