Francesco Lazzaro Guardi (October 5, 1712 – January 1, 1793) was a Venetian painter of veduta, a member of the Venetian School. He is considered to be among the last practitioners, along with his brothers, of the classic Venetian school of painting.
Francesco Guardi was born in Venice into a family of lesser nobility from Trentino. His father Domenico (born in 1678) and his brothers Niccolò and Gian Antonio were also painters, the latter inheriting the family workshop after the father's death in 1716. They probably all contributed as a team to some of the larger commissions later attributed to Francesco. His sister Maria Cecilia married the pre-eminent Veneto-European painter of his epoch, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo.
In 1735, Guardi moved to the workshop of Michele Marieschi, where he remained until 1743. His first certain works is from 1738, for a parish at Vigo d'Anuania, in Trentino. In this period he worked alongside his better-known brother, Gian Antonio. The first work signed by Francesco is a Saint Adoring the Eucarist (circa 1739).

Plot: Casanova is in love with Francesca, who thinks he is a friend of himself even though he is engaged to Victoria, who is the love of Giovanni, Francesca's brother. Francesca is betrothed to Paprizzio who thinks Casanova is the feminist writer Guardi, who is really Francessca's nomme de plume. Amidst all these secret identities and misunderstandings, the Catholic Church sends Pucci to bring Casanova and Guardi to trial for heresy.

Genres: Crime, Drama, Mystery, Thriller,I give my all my everything
Anything you want I strive to be
I tried, god knows I've tried
Or am I stuck somewhere between
Who I am and who I hope to be
Am I fighting the good fight
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
I've come so far to fall too fast
Eyes forward I can't look back I try
God knows I try
I shift my eyes through the sky
In the distance see the horizon line
She waits for me
Fighting the good fight
Keep pressing on
Fight the good fight
Fight, what you know is wrong
Keep pressing on

Remember that
Sometimes I fall in between
The nights blue moon and the shadows it keeps

What you know is wrong
And I'll keep fighting the good fight
Fight on, good fight
Fight on and fight
Keep fighting the good fight
Fight on, fight on
Fight on, keep fighting the good fight
