Biography
The future adventurer was born in times when the Venice republic was rightly considered the "capital of pleasure": the top ranks, though there were conservative views, but calmly treated public defects and developed tourism. The native city of Kazanov, within the framework of the Gran Tour, visited young aristocrats, who attracted gambling houses, Kurtisani and the famous carnival. In this light atmosphere, one of the most famous Venetians of the 18th century grew up.Childhood and youth
Jacomo Dzhirolamo Kazanova was born in Venice on April 2, 1725. He was eldest out of five children actress Zarette Farusi and Dancer Gaetano Giuseppe Casanov. It is known that two brothers - Francesco Giuseppe and Giovanni Battista - became painters, another, Gaetano Alvizo, was a priest. The only sister of Giacomo Maria Magdalene married a court musician and worked as a dancer in the Dresden Theater.
The famous facts of origin Jacomo Casanov questioned the edition of the ARMENIA.IM questioned. In one of its articles in 2017, employees conducted an investigation, at the end of which concluded that the adventurer - Armenian by nationality. The publication reports that the Armenian genus Casanova appeared in Venice in the 18th century, in addition, it was Jakomo who understood himself with the affairs of the evasion of Armenian merchants from taxes in the city of Trieste.
The major arguments of the publication are built on the fact that for communication with the merchants of Kazan was to know Armenian. Historians are confident that Jacomo could talk with merchants and in their native Italian, and the "Armenian race" was not at all Casanova, but Norantungyan. How are these two names are connected? The fact is that "Casa Nova" translated from Italian means the same as "Nor Tun" from Armenian - a new home. There is no more significant evidence of hypothesis with nationality.
Father Jacomo died when it was 8 years old. Mother earned, touring Europe, so the child spent the boy spent with his grandmother's march of Baldisser. The child was tormented by nasal bleeding, so on the 9th birthday, he was in the pension Padua for treatment. In one of his writings, he would later write that this event became an unpleasant surprise: Jacob seemed to get rid of him.
Conditions for life Pension provided terrible. The boy asked for a care to his first teacher - Abbot Gotszi, who taught him sciences and music. From 1734 to 1737, Casanova lived in the family of a priest. There, he falls in love with the younger sister Gozzi, Bettina.
Kazanova was from nature a smart, quickly and easily studied new. At the age of 12, he entered the Padan University, which graduated from 5 years, having received the degree of a lawyer. As he later writes in writings, the profession did not suit him, but the guardian of Gotszi hoped that Jacomo would become a church lawyer.
Science, which interested Casanov, - Medicine. The young man wished to become a doctor, but fate decided differently. In the student years, Jakomo showed interest in gambling for money: quickly found themselves in debts and even was called for a conversation to her grandmother. But she did not affect the addiction - his love for the game was only rooted.
Career
After graduation, he returned to his hometown and settled in a church lawyer. The appearance of him at that time allocated a young man from the crowd. Black-eyed, with carefully laid hair, an increase of 1.87 m - the data allowed him to quickly acquire a patron, the Venice Senator Alvizo Gasparo Malipierro. He taught the young man with etiquette and business manners.
The church career did not make up, even managed to visit the debts. Giacomo decided to purchase a personal patent: ordered an incredible white uniform with golden eaps from a tailor, bought a long saber. This kind of handsome wanted to fight the inhabitants of the city. But the military career was too boring for an adventurist, and he lost his salary.
Casanova leaves the service and is organized by violinist at the San Samuel Theater, where he gladly participated in scandalous walking and dubious entertainment. Giacomo realized the fear of such a life, but did not see a different path. While one day, knowledge of medicine did not allow him to change life: he was in one gondola with Senator Giovanni Di Matteo Bragadina. The official has become bad, and Kazanova provided first aid.
Senator appointed his referente with his referent, trying to make a respectable and educated person from him. But Kazanova so loved the idle lifestyle and gambling, which could not end them. Giovanni warned that such behavior would end badly, and was right. For an evil draw of his enemy, whom Jacomo with the company poured into the corpse, was accused of blasphemy and breakdown. Fearing prison, Casanova runs to the Parma.
In 1749 travels in Italy, leads a slutty lifestyle, after which it goes to Paris. On the way, he repeatedly attached to love joy.
In France, he lived two years, learned the language, but the image of his life attracted the attention of the police, so Casanova decided to go to Germany, then to Austria. As a result, it turns out again in Venice: drunks and couments are becoming even more unbridled.
Jacomo goes to prison for political prisoners, he was accused of a crime against faith. However, Kazanov managed to escape, not without the help of his patrons. The adventurer goes back to Europe again. Jacomo decided to behave more kept, seemed to be an alchemist, was familiar with Jean Jacques Rousseau and Madame de Pompadur.
Personal life
The first contact with the opposite sex at Kazanov occurred at 11 years old, in the House of the teacher of Gotszi. Beloved was the younger sister of the priest Bettin. Kazanova in memoirs will describe it as beautiful, cheerful and enthusiastic reading. It was this girl who sank into the heart of the famous adventurer of the feelings, which will become the main passion of Giacomo. Despite the fact that Bettina married Casanova retained warm feelings for her life.
After the first feeling, the love and intimate relations of Casanov were not burdened with seriousness. In the memoirs, he wrote that the main lifestyles were feelings and pleasures. However, Kazanova was always prudent, using "safety caps", which man pre-checked, inflating. To burden himself with children in his plans was not included.
The ideal connection, according to Giacomo, consisted of four stages: at first he found a woman, dissatisfied with her lover, then saved her from difficulty. After follow, he seduced the lady, a fleeing fleet. In the finals of relations, lover, losing interest in the woman, reduced her with a rich man or got married. Dzhacomo himself never was married officially.
Many of his pretties are described in memoirs. Historians recognize that the stories are full of inaccuracies, possibly exaggerated, but canvas plot realistic. It is the memories that make it possible to assume how much women were at Kazanov - at least 120, besides, in several places of memoirs, the author between the lines hints to relationships with men.

The last years of Kazanova's life worked as a library caretaker in the castle of Dux, in the Czech Republic. Creativity has become the only timeful. A man died in 73 years old, away from his homeland, leaving behind about 20 works, the main of which are the memoirs of the story of my life.
