The Seductor is an immersive exhibition that explores the fashion, identity, and allure of masculinity in the age of Giacomo Casanova and the elegant world of the 18th century. Curated by Roberta Orsi Landini and Chiara Squarcina, this exhibition unveils how clothing and aesthetics shaped social power, seduction, and personal identity in a world where appearance dictated influence.
A Journey Through 18th-Century Style
The exhibition presents exquisite garments from the Palazzo Mocenigo Museum’s collections, allowing visitors to experience the luxury and refinement of Casanova’s era. Fashion was not merely a form of personal expression but a strategic tool for navigating the courts, salons, and casinos of eighteenth-century Europe.
A Historic Setting
Hosted in the opulent rooms of Palazzo Mocenigo, already rich in Venetian 18th-century décor, the exhibition highlights how visual identity and seduction were crucial for social advancement. Casanova’s world was one of dazzling encounters, theatrical transformations, and high-stakes intrigue, where clothing became a language of power and attraction.
