* ConsummateLiar: Casanova. [[spoiler: He's engaged to Victoria, he's Salvatto, he's Papprizzio, he's engaged to Francesca, he's Bernardo Guardi, he hasn't seen his fiance anywhere around here, and he's certainly not the owner of this villa.]]

Added DiffLines:

* HypercompetentSidekick: Pucci is no fool, but his second-in-command is notably smarter than he is, and usually seems to figure out what's going on just before Pucci does. Notably, when they both see Casanova and Francesca in the hot air balloon, Pucci deems it witchcraft while the second-in-command starts explaining the scientific principle of it, before giving up and agreeing that it's witchcraft.


Added DiffLines:

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: The Doge is doing everything in his power to keep Casanova from being hanged. Unfortunately Casanova doesn't make it easy for him, and Pucci is one of the few people with enough power to overrule him.

* HolierThanThou: The Inquisitor Pucci, played by Creator/JeremyIrons. Rather than speaking about forgiveness, redemption, or any attempt to save the souls of those ostensibly under his care as a member of the Church, Pucci's goals all seem to revolve around control. There also appears to be an entire order of nuns willing to add another notch to Casanova's bedpost. When admonished for risking (or perhaps earning, in the eyes of the inquisitor), eternal damnation for a single night with Casanova, the response is "seems fair."
