Calle de Muneghe (Giacomo Casanova's birthplace), Venice

It is believed by scholars that Giacomo Casanova was actually born in the house on Calle de le Muneghe, where his grandmother, Marzia, resided. This contradicts previous claims that he was born on Calle de la Comedia (now Calle Malipiero). During their first year of marriage, Giacomo's parents likely lived at No. 2993 on Calle de le Muneghe before leaving for theatrical work in London in 1726, leaving their one-year-old son in the care of his grandmother. Years later, as a 17-year-old, Casanova would tend to his beloved grandmother's illness until her passing in the same house on Calle de le Muneghe.

Although most experts agree that the Venetian lagoon emerged nearly 6,000 years ago, the area of today's Venice remained mostly uninhabited, except for a small population of fishermen, up until the 5th century AD when the hordes of Gothic barbarians, looting their way into Rome, drove many a people away from their homes on the mainland to take refuge on the coastal Venetian islands.
