3.

Casanovafest was invented by Slobodan Vugrinec and Boris T. Matić as a manifestation which celebrates historical connections between the famous lover Casanova and Vrsar.
Giacomo Casanova visited Vrsar two times, in 1743. and 1744. which was already famous for good drink (Refoška), food and beautiful women.
Casanovafest is inspired by the natural beauty of Vrsar and the archipelago and also the fact that Coversada, first and at that time the biggest naturist camp in Europe, was founded in 1961.
