Casanova: The Duel of the Black Rose

Young libertine Giacomo Casanova arrives in Venice with a mission: to find his father and track down the murderers of his mother. He will find that the world in which he thought he was living is but a carnival mask of the reality, and will discover that her murder was part of a vast plot designed to bring down the Council of Venice and set up a dictatorship. To survive, he will have to become a consummate fencer and gallant seducer, develop a cunning mind for politics, and always keep in mind that in Venice, reputation is all and truth is only upheld by the sword.
