The great history of Casanova

Hugh Hefner, Ron Jeremy, Howard Hughes, Errol Flynn, and many other men have made names for themselves as playboys. When these men were in their Prime, there was no woman that could resist their charms.

None of those are fine themselves and their characteristics and personality attract the most beautiful of women. It is the dream of Every Man to have a beautiful woman, or two, on their arm when they walk into a party.

Men who do not have this natural Playboy Charisma pay thousands of dollars in order to learn how to be more like these men. There are countless love gurus all touting the same line. If you buy our program, you'll have women throwing themselves at you.

But even if these Love Guru programs actually work, there is no way that any man could be as lusty, smooth, and womanizing as the infamous Casanova. No matter where you live or how old you are, everyone has heard of the name Casanova.

Casanova is a name synonymous with romance and romantic gestures. But Casanova wasn't just a character from a romance novel, or a generic insult aimed at men who try to pick up women at bars and clubs and fail.

Casanova was a real Italian womanizer, playboy, and predator who lived in the 1700s.

He was a wild and sex-crazed man who loved to gamble and loved to run away from his debtors. He was a seducer of young ladies, whether or not they wanted him to seduce them. Since we are still talking about him in the modern age, you can bet that he was extremely successful in his romantic endeavors. But when he said he would not be successful in winning a woman, he decided that their "no" meant nothing to him.

The infamous story of Casanova

The name Casanova may be renowned, but very few people actually know the full truth about the man we know as Casanova. And much of the truth is absolutely disgusting.

Casanova did not live in modern times or in the last hundred years. He was an Italian man who lived in the 1700s. Casanova was a Venetian, as he was born and raised in Venice. His full name is Giacomo Casanova. His mother's name was Zanetta Farussi, and she worked as an actress while his father, named Gaetano Casanova, was a dancer.

Even though his mother was an actress, she earned more wages than his father, and both his parents toured around Venice and neighboring cities. They often took their son with them. So, artists, actors, actresses, and musicians surrounded Casanova from a young age. Perhaps it was his surroundings that lay the foundation for the rest of his life.

It is important to remember that living and working as an artist was not respected, even in Italy. Society at the time considered these professions to be low class. His family was not poor at all, but they were not considered part of polite society. And they had absolutely no connections to aristocracy and nobility.

When his parents determined that cussing over was too old to tour with them, they left him with his grandmother from his mother's side.

In the beginning, Casanova was far more than just a womanizer. He was an intellectual who enjoyed studying multiple subjects, including history. Even as a child, his intelligence was obvious. When he would grow up, he would become a master manipulator and a storyteller. Many of the legends around him or intentionally cultivated to make him seem more amazing.

Casanova quickly learned to read and write when he was just a child. Since his family was not poor, his mother and other family members were able to schedule tutors for him to teach him. They sent him to the local boarding house, but it was a very run-down School and Casanova hated being there.

But he did not just hate the school because it was run down. He felt like his parents had thrown them away. He never wanted to leave his home. In his autobiography, Casanova commented on the memory of his parents sending him away by saying “So they got rid of me.”

He asked his parents to hire an instructor named Abbe Gozzi as a private teacher so that he would not have to go to that terrible School. Gozi was a very good instructor and taught him multiple academic subjects. He also taught him to play the violin.

The tutoring for young Casanova paid off and he excelled in all academic subjects. His intelligence and curiosity were so insatiable that he quickly surpassed the intellectual levels of kids his own age as well as teenagers. In fact, he was able to enter the University of Padua when he was only twelve years old.

The University of Padua is an Italian University, and it is still in operation today. It was established in the 13th century, and it is Italy's second oldest university and the fifth oldest university in history. The University of Padua has had many intelligent people walk through its doors including Nicolaus Copernicus, Sir Edward green, Tommaso Pirelli, and Giuseppe Tartini.

But his time at the University was not solely dedicated to academic Pursuits. It was at the University where he developed an intense level gambling which would follow him for the rest of his life. In fact, many of his problems are the direct result of his gambling problem.

Even though he attended the university between the ages of 12 and 17, he was still gambling enough to rack up a lot of debt. In fact, his debt was so bad that he had to return to his grandmother who lived in Venice.

To Occupy his time, Casanova started working and studying in the law field as a cleric. He was also allowed to stay at Padua University and continue his studies.

His love of romance, women, and sex.

Casanova himself said that his long and very love affair with the opposite sex started when he was only 11 years old. His tutor’s younger sister, Bettina, fondled him when he was at his tutor’s house and his tutor was not there.

The next encounter in Casanova's life was the beautiful and dainty actress named Theresa Imer. Casanova knew that his Patron wanted her for himself and wanted to seduce her. But Casanova could not stop himself.

His Patron, who was also a state senator, cut both Teresa and Casanova together and he threw both of them out of his home. Without the support of his Patron, Casanova had to find another way to provide for himself.

So, out of all the places to find work, Casanova entered into the Seminary and got involved with the church. Honestly, I don't know why he thought this would be a good move. The church does not allow men and women to be together, whether or not they are married. As you can probably guess his time in the Seminary was short. Not only was it short, but he was also involved in several scandals.

Obviously, he ended up having sex with one of the nuns.

Casanova wasn't only attracted to women. He also had a few dalliances with men while he was young. He did not intentionally seek out men to have sex with, like you would with women. But when the opportunity came up, he would seize the moment.

At one point in his sexual escapades, he was able to find another Patron, an extremely wealthy Marquis, He was able to convince her to give him money so that he could have sex with young women. I'm not really sure what the Marquis' thinking was but she gave him money and he performed his favorite activity, deflowering virgins.

His death

He spent the last few years of his life in an area that we now know has the Czech Republic. He traveled between Bohemia and Prague. Records say that he died on June 4th, 1798, at the age of 73.

Out of all the Playboys in the world, why is Casanova still known in modern times?

One of the most important reasons why historians know about Casanova is due to his autobiography.

Historians said that his autobiography is one of the few insights that Italians have to the rules, customs, and traditions of the rich and wealthy who lived during the 18th century.

Although he may have embellished some of his escapades and travels to seem a bit

livelier, most of autobiography is truthful and helps historians navigate the Old Worlds and the many different customs of aristocracy, naval travel, and trade.

His autobiography is not just a single book that even a slow reader could get through in a week. His full auto biography is 12 volumes and 3700 Pages. The book is called The Story of My Life.

What else to know about the Great Casanova

There are many myths and half-truths surrounding the antics and life of Casanova. Some of the information that you read in this section may completely shatter your ideas about this so-called romantic Venetian.

Gross! Did Casanova really sleep with his own daughter?

There are many myths about Casanova, but this one just might be the most disgusting. Yes, he had sex with his own daughter. Even worse, he got her pregnant, and she gave birth to his daughter! And the horribleness does not stop there! Not only did he impregnate his own daughter, but he did it while in a threesome with her mother! What a horrible mother!

We were cool with Casanova and his womanizing ways until we found out about this terrible situation! Who in their right mind would sleep with their daughter and impregnate her, and be proud of it?

So how did historians find out that Casanova impregnated his own daughter? Well, he himself wrote about it in his 12-volume autobiography! Why in the world would he not only admit to doing such an act, but also include it in his autobiography? I guess he was not ashamed at all, but he definitely should have been.

But he did not need drugs to deteriorate his morals and allowed him to sleep with his daughter. He was currently mentally deranged because of the syphilis raging in his body. You know that about if he says that he does not even remember having sex with his daughter. The daughter's mother, who was not his wife, had to tell him about the encounter.

He Often Had STDs Which Destroyed His Brain

A man who has as much sex as Giacomo Casanova would be lying if he said he never had an STD. They did not have condoms in 18th century Venice, as well as the rest of Europe. So, everybody had unprotected sex.

I'm sure doctors and other medical professionals would create tinctures and potions that promised to keep away the clap or the burn. But 18th century medical science was nothing but hocus pocus, cocaine, herbs, and leeches. Most remedies were completely ineffective.

In his sexual escapades, he developed syphilis. If syphilis is left untreated in the human body, it can affect the brain. That ‌ happened to Casanova. He had untreated syphilis for so long that it gave him intense depression and he almost killed himself in a suicide attempt. The syphilis wore away at his brain and deteriorated his mind.

Did Casanova have sex with children?

Yes, Casanova actually sexually molested several children when he was over the age of 40. And he really didn't feel much shame when he pursued these girls. In his own diary, he writes about a 13-year-old girl named Helene that he enjoyed. When he lived in St. Petersburg, he purchased a 12-year-old girl so that he can have her as a sexual slave.

A decade after he molested the 12-year-old Russian girl, he met a woman who had a nine-year-old daughter. The mother allowed Casanova to touch her daughter, and she knew exactly what he was doing to her. Not only that, Casanova and the girl's mother shared her with another man, known as Baron Pattoni.
