"Casanova", or "Can't Stand This Persona"?

 You can be a military officer, a musician (in particular a violinist), a gambler, poet and adventurer but in the past, if you were any of the above and a male to tip the scales of attention, you were going to most certainly be popular among "the ladies". Of all the exploits that the Venetian man, Casanova had been noted for, his home being the pleasure capital of the world through the 1700's certainly had an impacct on his upbringing in such a vast way that it literally became the epitome of his reputation. 

As it goes for many today, many back in the 18th century believed, "home is where the heart is at". Thinking back to the 18th century, the world was still a very big place and quite isolated. Your name was still very much still resembling your home in one way or another. 

Casanova was noted as having lost his virginity at the age of 11 and thereafter, as that first, each after being just that much more scandalous after one other. His many roles put him in entertainment venues, and he wasn't just a pretty face, he was noted as producing literature that made him associated with thinkers such as Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin and Mozart. 

Having later liveda life and then some, he documented his exploits through his autobiography, Historie de Ma Vie (Story of My Life). 

It seems, there is still this reminicisent Casanova seeking young man and maybe even women or otherwise that strikes their social circles as a thinker, a sophistocated mind, waiting for the opportunity to find a mate fitting of one's desire, to strike, but in need of that exit into another romantic muse soon after. However much we feel mainstream media tries to disband the idea of the permiscuous colleague or close friend, it still creeps into that spotlight ever so often. 

The real story, in my opinion was that Casanova, somehow, duped, "fixed" (a.k.a. cheated) and well, lived a life of general fraudulent behaviour, in which led to him dying without being able to return home and yet, off all his brilliant cheats/schemes/crimes/escapes, he is remembered as someone who slept with a lot of people, hahaha oh humans. Nevermind the V.D. he contracted throughout his exploits. Its troubling sometimes to imagine that of all the lives lived in the 1700's this guys' memoir one of the more remembered when discussing life and times of Europe in the 18th century. Yes, there are obviously others, but I guess, well, everyone loves good villian hahaha
