RULES

RULES - PLEASE READ

:heart: Unless it is a series, like a comic, a mask, or of Venice, all submissions must feature Giacomo Casanova! It can be a cosplay, from a movie, he can be with other people, but he has to be in it. Otherwise, I'll have to remove it, but I'll send you a note.

:heart: Since this is a Venetian masquerade, images of Venice and masks may be submitted. However, they must be of a "masquerade" style, Venetian, etc. Clown masks, movie masks, Halloween masks, woodland fairy masks, steampunk, etc. are NOT acceptable.

:heart: Those in Venetian masks and clothing are thus allowed into the group, however the person must be WEARING the mask.

:heart: If you submit multiple deviations, they will be sorted, and only your most recent will remain in Featured(unless you state which one you want to remain.)The Featured folder will be only 3 pages of deviations, so as people submit, you may find that a submission has been sorted. I do this so that new deviations are constantly circulating on the front page.

:heart: Screenshots are NOT acceptable, but customed wallpapers, etc can be submitted.

:heart: Pairings and slashing are perfectly acceptable, I've seen it, it's there, I'm one of them lol. Even with fictional characters, it's all good, just have him in it.

:heart: Fanfiction, poetry, etc. is allowed. However, in Written Works, Casanova must be either the main theme or a major character.

:heart: Please, no flaming or really rude comments, or we'll lock you up in the Leads.

:heart: Got any questions/problems? Just comment and I will get back to you in due time.
And you thought Casanova was just a legend...

The Complete Casanova Memoirs Online: www.hot.ee/memoirs/casanova/

So let me tell you about this sexy man and his sexy ways:

Giacomo Giralomo Casanova, le Chevalier de Seingalt was born in Venice, on April 2, 1725, the first of six children to actors Zanetta Farussi and Gaetano Giuseppe Casanova. He was sickly and quiet as a child, but was nevertheless quite clever and ambitious once he entered boarding school in Padua. There, he showed particular prowess in the subjects of chemistry and medicine. While his mother originally planned for him to become a priest, he was expelled from seminary school for scandalous conduct.

After spending the rest of his young adult years in Venice, Casanova began his travels throughout Europe. Stopping Paris, Zurich, Rome, London, Moscow, Barcelona, Vienna and countless other towns and cities, he made his fortune as a soldier, a lawyer, a playwright, a secretary, a doctor, an author, a spy, and a diplomat. He was also an expert fencer and violinist, and even invented the French lottery! During his travels he some of the most illustrious names of his time, including Mozart, Mme de Pompadour, Louis XV, King George III, Rousseau, Voltaire, Catherine the Great, Frederick II and our very own Benjamin Franklin. In 1755, he was arrested by the Inquisition on trumped charges of "occult" activities and sentenced to 5 years in Ducal Palace Leads in Venice. But Casanova was never a man to stay in one place for very long. He escaped a year later, and remains in the only man in history to do so, using only a bible, a pike, a bowl of macaroni and cheese and some of that infamous Casanova ingenuity. Finally, and probably what he is most remembered for, his irrisitible charm led to intimate relations with over 100 women.

From 1785, he spent his last years as a librarian in the service of the Count of Waldstein in Bohemia, dying at the ripe old age of 73 on June 4, 1798. His last words are said to have been, "I have lived as a philosopher and I die as a Christian." For despite what he appears, Casanova was a devout Catholic. Sadly, we would not even know that this great man even existed if it were not for his Memoirs of 12 volumes, which remain as one of the most authentic sources of the customs and norms of European social life in the 18th c. But while his reputation as a cunning philanderer was powerful enough to immortalize his last name, this man must also be remembered as one of history's most dazzling heroes. :heart:
