Trivia:
When Casanova is running away from the Inquisition in the opening scene he jumps through a window and into the University of Venice. The University of Venice never existed and the building he jumps into is in fact the "Theatro Olympico", one of the first Renaissance theatres- and 140 kilometers away from Venice.

Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Francesca Bruni fires Bernardo Guardi through a note which Guardi then reads, "Your services are no longer needed". However, later in the film the inquisitor is informed that Bernardo Guardi cannot read or write.

I always thought it would be a good idea to make a comedy about young Casanova his incredible adventures, love stories, his struggle with church. Casanova was a fascinating historic figure, a soldier, spy, diplomat, writer, adventurer who will also be remembered as the greatest seducer and lover the world had ever seen (if only from his own words). His life and mystery surrounded him has made him an ultimate hero for many novels, plays, and movies. Sadly, not all Casanova's movies are good and Lasse Hallström's comedy belongs to the long list of not successful movies. Sure, it is gorgeous to look at it is 18th Century Venice after all, and locations, photography, Vivaldi's music, costumes, wigs, make up are first class but beyond all this is just another typical chick flick or romcom with Heath Ledger whose Casanova is not that brilliant and fascinating figure but just a cute guy - no more, no less.
