Description
Set during the Venice Carnival, the narrative follows the daughter of a Patrician family as she recounts her erotic adventures. The storyline includes a variety of encounters, such as a sperm donor fantasizing about a sister's striptease, a counterfeit blind man, and two high school students who deceive their dean with hired actors posing as their parents. Throughout these events, the protagonist is seduced by the ghost of Casanova, leading to a surprising climax. The film references Mauro Bolognini's classic "LA VENEXIANA," which featured Laura Antonelli and Monica Guerritore in a 16th-century tale. Instead of a direct remake, Joe D'Amato's version unfolds in modern Venice, with most of the numerous sexual scenes being generic and unrelated to the city.

Wanda Curtis plays the heroine, portraying innocence while donning period attire and exploring Venice. Philippe Dean features prominently in the film, engaging in various sexual scenes. However, much of the lengthy runtime consists of repetitive and unengaging episodes that serve as filler. The film includes various vignettes, such as one where Anita Blond has an encounter with a fake blind boy in a railroad station bathroom, and another where a man donates sperm at a hospital, fantasizing about a nun. Erica Bella appears as a Mafia informant's wife, and Zenza Raggi plays a character servicing a woman on a pool table. Dean also portrays a professor who resolves disciplinary issues through sexual encounters with students. The final scene features Wanda imagining a puppet coming to life as Casanova.
