Items related to Casanova
The real fascination of the career of Giacomo Casanova is often overlooked by those who know him only for his sexual exploits. Great lover he was, perhaps; but he was also much more. The bastard son of Venetian actors, he rose to consort with scholars and cardinals, kings and noblemen and to write one of the raciest autobiographies of all time. Lawyer, churchman, gambler, Freemason, musician, impresario, confidence trickster, master of all situations and victim of most, Casanova is one of the most colourful and versatile figures of the eighteenth century. There are superb episodes of adventure in the book, such as the famous escape over the rooftops from the prison in Venice.
