La amante de Bolzano

Márai’s depiction feels introspective and nuanced, but I wonder how it aligns with or diverges from the historical Casanova's reputation. Did anyone else feel this version added layers to his persona?

The choice of setting feels so intentional and intimate. I'm curious whether Márai was drawn to Bolzano for its history, landscape, or personal significance.

The lyrical prose and focus on memory made me feel deeply connected to Casanova’s inner world. Was that your experience or did it feel a bit heavy?
