Two moments in the life of the
famous adventurer: as a child in Padua, 1733-34, and as a boy in Venice,
1742, when he decides to cast away the clothes of young Abbot and start
his new life.
An amiable reconstruction of the period, with Gherardi, set and costume
designer, who keeps an eye on the painting by Pietro Longhi in
describing a rich and decadent Venice.
Acre, witty, unusual.
