share the author's love for Warsaw and Venice; the fate of both cities is close to my heart. I work to bring them closer together, convinced that we can learn from each other, connect the infinite cultures of these metropolises, about whose connections we Poles know far too little. But after reading this book, we will know much more. Jacek Pałasiński: Sebastiano Giorgi lives in Warsaw, to which he has taken Venice with him, where he lives, its memory, nature, and culture. So we have Warsaw, we have Venice, and we have characters: Agatha, about whom we know just enough, which is nothing more than that she is the essence of Sebastian's life and daily delight. We have an Italian friend who came to star in a film about Bernardo Bellotto, aka Canaletto. We have Casanova, who not only perfectly fits the Mozartian structure of the story but also once visited Warsaw, so there's no reason he shouldn't be in the book. We have the Venetian world from the author's reference library of memories, with its delights, curiosities, souvenirs, and problems (such as the city's restrictions on tourist access, to which—limitations, not tourists—Sebastian has a distinct and radical attitude.) Finally, we have Warsaw, with particular emphasis on the Łazienki Park, which is the setting for the film shot against the backdrop of the story. Jarosław Mikołajewski
