The plaque at the beginning of Calle Malipiero, below the nizioleto: ’in a house of this calle Giacomo Casanova was born on 2 April 1725’ Photo: Adriano, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0
The plaque is more honest than many others: it does not say ’he was born here’, but ’in a house of this calle, formerly Calle della Commedia, Giacomo Casanova was born on 2 April 1725’. Well-earned prudence, because scholars are still debating which house it was exactly.
