Casanova is the most charismatic and popular hero-lover of the European history. Usually he is an invited guest in the night fantasies of the female unconscious. The figure of the famous Venetian adventurer has always been covered with a romantic fleur; he secretly gave his name to many contemporaries as a nominal word to such concepts as “ladies’ man” or “conqueror of heart”. We can not see Casanova’s face: he appears as a kind of archetype, allowing every woman to see his “ideal man” in him. When interacting with the sculpture, the spectator “takes possession” of Casanova and forms a close “face to face” contact with the imaginary dream lover.
