Sshesh the guys are rough here. But that's what happens when you don't narrow it down to "A" or "B" and don't initially post the color or any exterior mods of your car. I can see them 'possibly' working on a silver color if "done corectly".

Giacomo Casanova
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Casanova)
Jump to: navigation, search
Giacomo Casanova“Casanova” redirects here. For other uses, see Casanova (disambiguation).
Giacomo Casanova (April 2, 1725 in Venice – June 4, 1798, in Dux, Bohemia, now Duchcov, Czech Republic) was a famous Venetian adventurer, writer, and womanizer. He used charm, guile, threats, intimidation, and aggression, when necessary, to conquer women, sometimes leaving behind children or debt. In his autobiography Histoire de ma vie (Story of My Life), regarded as one of the most authentic sources of the customs and norms of European social life during the 18th century, he mentions 122 women with whom he had sex.
In spite of him being a historical character and Don Juan being a legend, Casanova is often associated with him.

[edit] Biography
[edit] Early years
Giacomo ("Fernandon") Casanova was born in Venice in 1725 to actress Zanetta Farussi, wife of actor Gaetano Giuseppe Casanova. Cousin to Mozart's librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte. His biological father is generally believed to have been Michele Grimani, a member of the patrician family who owned the San Samuele theatre where Zanetta and Gaetano worked for a time. Casanova was the first of six children. Giovanni Alvise (1730–1795), Faustina Maddalena (1731–1736), Maria Maddalena Antonia Stella (1732–1800) and Gaetano Alvise (1734–1783) were likely fathered by Gaetano, while Francesco (1737–1803) may have been the son of another man. His father died when he was eight, before he had the chance to establish a proper bond with him. Casanova would himself sire many children outside of wedlock and like his own parents he never paid them any serious attention.
His mother, with six children to feed, kept her five youngest at home and shipped Casanova off to boarding school in Padua on his ninth birthday, supposedly for the good of his health. She immediately returned to Venice - Casanova would not see her again for more than a year and would never again share her home. She was able to afford boarding school because before Gaetano died in 1733 he had appealed to the Grimanis to take care of his family. At boarding school he showed great academic promise and quickly became his teacher's favourite, naturally quick-witted, with an intense appetite for knowledge and a perpetually inquisitive mind. It was also here that he came into contact with the opposite sex for the first time when his teacher's younger sister apparently gave him his first orgasm at the age of 11. At the age of sixteen he lost his virginity in the arms of two sisters who, according to his account, threw themselves at him. At the age of 16 he obtained his doctorate in Law from the University of Padua, where he had studied moral philosophy, chemistry, mathematics, and law. He was keenly interested in medicine and later in life regretted not having made a career out of it, although he became an eager and often instinctively good amateur doctor.
[edit] In Venice and elsewhere
In 1740 Casanova was back in Venice where he started his clerical law career in the church as an abate. By now he had become something of a dandy — tall and dark, his long hair powdered, scented, and elaborately curled. He quickly ingratiated himself (something he was to do all his life) with a 76-year old Venetian senator, Alvise Gasparo Malipiero, the owner of Palazzo Malipiero. Malipiero moved in the best circles and taught young Casanova a great deal about good food and wine and how to behave in society. He never spent much time on his church career, due to his restless nature and preoccupation with sex.
His career in the church was short and tainted by scandals. After he left the church, he bought a commission to become a low ranking military officer for the Republic of Venice, and went to Constantinople after which he was stationed a short period on Corfu. He found his advancement too slow and boring and soon abandoned his military career. Back in Venice, he became a violinist in the San Samuele theatre, which was still owned by his probable biological father, Michele Grimani. At the age of 21, he saved the life of a Venetian nobleman from the Bragadin family, who became his life-long patron and raised Casanova to the status of a wealthy gentleman. Casanova left Venice in 1748, due to another scandal, this time about a freshly buried corpse dug up in order to play a practical joke — the victim went into a coma, never to recover — and charges of rape against a young girl, of which he was later acquitted.
[edit] Fugitive and chevalier
Having spent time in Paris, Dresden, Prague, and Vienna, he returned to his home town of Venice in 1753. In July 1755, at age thirty, he was arrested and convicted for his interest in magic (witchcraft) by the Inquisitori di Stato in Venice, and imprisoned in "I piombi" ("The Leads"), a famous prison book which apparently contains the secrets of Casanova's sexual charm.
Casanova in Bohemia, a sympathetic and gently ribald novel about Casanova's last years at Dux, Bohemia; by Andrei Codrescu (2002; publisher?).
Giamo Casanunda is a dwarvish character appearing in several of the Discworld novels by fantasy writer and satirist Terry Pratchett. Casanunda's personality and predilections (as well as his punnish name) are obviously inspired by the historical Casanova.
