Return to Rome is a memoir written by Jacques Casanova, a famous Italian adventurer and writer, detailing his return to Rome after many years of exile. Casanova was banished from Rome for his controversial writings and scandalous behavior, but he returns to the city in his old age to seek redemption and make amends for his past mistakes. The book is a fascinating account of 18th-century Rome and the political and social climate of the time. Casanova provides vivid descriptions of the city's architecture, art, and culture, as well as its seedy underbelly of crime and corruption. Throughout the book, Casanova reflects on his life and the choices he made, offering insights into his own character and the human condition. He also recounts his encounters with various historical figures, including the Pope and the King of Naples, and shares his thoughts on religion, philosophy, and morality. Overall, Return to Rome is a captivating and thought-provoking memoir that offers a unique perspective on one of the most fascinating periods in European history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and times of Jacques Casanova, as well as for those interested in the history of Rome and Italy.. The duchess told me as much on the occasion of my third visit. She did not give me the information in a complaining tone, or as if she was fain to be consoled, but merely to defy her confessor, who had threatened her with excommunication if she went on telling people about her husband's condition, or if she tried to cure him of it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
