Giacomo Girolamo Casanova (Venice, 1725 – Duchcov, 1798) was an Italian adventurer, libertine, historian, writer, diplomat, jurist, cellist, philosopher, mathematician, librarian and secret agent, brother of the painters Giovanni Battista Casanova (1730-1795). and Francesco Casanova (1727-1802). He is known above all as the archetype of the seductive libertine, of whom 132 love conquests have been counted. His main work was a vast autobiography, the “Histoire de ma vie”, also known as “Memoirs of Casanova”, written in French because at that time it was the most well-known and spoken language in Europe, as it happens in the 20th century with the English.
