The Man, the Myth, the Adventurer

Giacomo Girolamo Casanova, whose name for more than 250 years, has been synonymous with the term womanizer, was far more than that. Born April 2, 1725, Casanova was a Venetian adventurer and by turns an author, diplomat, gourmand, medic, philosopher, soldier, mystic, businessman, spy, clergyman, gambler, artist, musician, traveler, lawyer, charlatan, librarian, linguist, social climber and renowned love, from Venice, the Sin City of his day.

A graduate of the University of Padua with a degree in law, Casanova was simultaneously a devout Catholic and romantic melodramatist who was recognized by his contemporaries as a man of most extraordinary quality.

A bold traveler of the European continent and self-made nobleman, he had a far-ranging intellect, phenomenal memory, grand personal style, powerful insight and a constant sense of curiosity. Casanova became, through his writings, known as one of the foremost chroniclers of the customs, attitudes, events and culture of his age.
