Back in Paris, Casanova has found success as a spy and diplomat for France. On a mission for the treasury, he travels to Holland to sell government bonds, building a massive fortune and founding a garment factory with his earnings. As wasteful spending and sexual improprieties increase, Casanova finds himself on the wrong side of the law once more.

Having made a daring escape from prison in Venice, Casanova makes his way to Paris. There, he reconnects with old friends, witnesses the execution of attempted assassin Robert-François Damiens, and uses his cunning to ingratiate himself with the local elite. Desperate for money, he accepts a mission from the French Foreign Minister to spy on the commune of Dunkirk.

Juggling multiple affairs alongside a lucrative, exhausting gambling career, Giacomo Casanova is blindsided by a terrible betrayal. As he attempts to get his life back on track, a man presents him with a promising business opportunity. As the two grow close, Casanova lets his guard down, revealing his secrets to Manucci, who turns out to be a spy for the state.

Arrested for crimes against religion, Casanova is sentenced to five years imprisonment in the infamous prison of the Doge of Venice. Held in solitary confinement, he suffers in darkness and silence, through unbearable heat and an infestation of fleas, longing for nothing more than freedom. With the help of a fellow prisoner, and after months of planning, Casanova makes his escape.

Emboldened by his success as a professional gambler, Casanova begins to think he could remain in Venice for good. He divides his time between frequenting the city's casinos and meeting with a beautiful nun, a woman whose chastity soon gives way to pure, unadulterated desire. As this affair heats up, Casanova draws even more attention to himself from local authorities.

After years of restless wandering, after countless failures, arrests, and rejections, Casanova finds a woman worth settling down for. Determined to turn his life around for Henriette, Casanova attempts to put the past behind him. Soon, however, Henriette sees the Venetian libertine for who he really is, and Casanova is forced to go on the road once more.

After two years in Paris, a city teeming with life, Casanova finally wears out his welcome with local authorities. He makes his way to Vienna, a city of immense wealth and stuffy morals, unsuited to such a free-spirited man. As his reputation in Austria grows, he is compelled to return to Venice, where he makes and loses fortunes as a gambler.

As his brief-yet-heated love affair with Madame F., a beautiful noblewoman, comes to an end, Casanova leaves his military life in Corfu behind him. Returning to Venice, he attempts to live as a professional gambler. After losing most of his money, he turns to music, pursuing a career as a violinist by day while partying with friends by night.

Casanova is forced to flee Venice under threat of imprisonment, leaving behind his closest friends and ending his career as an aide to a powerful senator. He makes his way to Parma, where he meets the love of his life, a Frenchwoman named Henriette, whose beauty and wit compel him to remain loyal-for a time.

Still a young man, though one already familiar with the excesses of life, Casanova attempts to enter the seminary to devote himself to God. Despite his best efforts, he finds it hard to resist the pleasures of the flesh for long. Eventually, he manages to secure a position with a prominent Bishop, but soon finds himself in trouble with the law.

Following the disgraceful conclusion of his career in the church, Casanova looks to the military as a way of redeeming himself. Joining a Venetian regiment at Corfu, he soon finds the life of duty to be a boring one and spends his time gambling instead. Abandoning his military service, he catches the eye of Madame F., a beautiful noblewoman of Corfu.

In the Republic of Venice, a boy is born who will achieve both fame and infamy, whose life will be a story of fortune and misfortune alike. In the early 18th century, Venice is the capital of European pleasure-seekers, a city known for its limitless offerings to gamblers, revelers, and criminals. For Giacomo Casanova, this environment proves both enticing and formative.
