Con frecuencia he encontrado la felicidad después de algún paso imprudente que debÃa haber provocado mi ruina y, aunque censurándome, agradezco a Dios por su misericordia. - Casanova
Contrario a la leyenda libidinosa, como ha sido vista a través del lente rosa de Hollywood, el Giacomo Casanova real no poseÃa la mandÃbula fuerte y cincelada de Heath Ledger, o los penetrantes ojos azules cual lagunas de Richard Chamberlain. Más bien, los retratos del Casanova real muestran un rostro simple, incluso poco memorable, de mandÃbula pastosa, nariz prominente, un poco torcida, y ojos saltones y muy juntos. En esencia, aunque ciertamente no era poco atractivo, estaba lejos de ser alguien que llegarÃa a ser visto como sinónimo de mujeriego. De cualquier manera, Casanova fue partÃcipe de cientos de encuentros románticos y, lo que fuera que el hombre careciera en atractivo fÃsico, lo compensaba indudablemente con su encanto, mÃstica y magnetismo animal. Era también bastante pragmático y realista acerca de todo eso: El amor verdadero es aquel que surge a veces después del placer sensual: si lo hace, es inmortal; el otro tipo inevitablemente caduca, porque se basa en mera fantasÃa.

Era también bastante pragmático y realista acerca de todo eso: El amor verdadero es aquel que surge a veces después del placer sensual: si lo hace, es inmortal; el otro tipo inevitablemente caduca, porque se basa en mera fantasÃa.
De hecho, las fabulosas hazañas eróticas del cautivadoramente carismático Casanova fueron tan espectaculares que su apellido ha sido inmortalizado con su propia entrada en el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española (entre muchos otros reputados diccionarios): Hombre famoso por sus aventuras amorosas. Aunque Casanova ha quedado cimentado en la cultura popular, por sobre todo lo demás, como un amante licencioso y de mucha labia, el hombre estaba titilantemente envuelto en capas de astuto engaño, cálculo cuidadoso y un inextinguible anhelo de aventura. Jugó muchos roles, sin embargo cada uno parecÃa estar diseñado especialmente para él, ya que no era un simple aventurero con un apetito sexual insaciable; era un agudo artÃfice de la palabra, un sanador mÃstico, espÃa veterano y genio de la improvisación que guardaba infinitos trucos bajo los faralaos de sus mangas.
Irónicamente, parece que el propio Casanova, aunque orgulloso de sus escapadas sonrojantes, temÃa ser recordado simplemente como uno de los primeros Hugh Hefner de la historia. De igual manera, no querÃa que ni un sólo detalle fuera alterado u omitido de su rica y fascinante vida, razón por la cual decidió escribir una autobiografÃa de doce volúmenes, secciones de la cual son aún consideradas por muchos hombres como un manual para la seducción y desfloración de mujeres virtuosas. Por otro lado, los historiadores modernos alaban sus memorias como uno de los más vÃvidamente descriptivos y precisos retratos de las normas y costumbres de la Europa del siglo XVIII. Una comisión del gobierno francés llegó incluso a reconocerlas como tesoro nacional.
Pero, eran merecidas toda la celebridad y loas que tan a menudo le llovÃan al hombre? o era acaso él nada más que un perverso lujurioso carente de moral? De examinarse detenidamente las páginas de la vida de Casanova, rápidamente se notarÃan las realidades desagradables y oscuras de sus insinuaciones amorosas, algunas de las cuales lo ubicarÃan en el fondo de la cadena alimenticia de las prisiones modernas. Uno de sus contemporáneos, el PrÃncipe Charles de Ligne, tal vez lo resumió mejor cuando dijo de Casanova:
Las únicas cosas sobre las que no sabe nada son aquellas de las que se considera un experto: las reglas del baile, el lenguaje francés, el buen gusto, cómo se mueve el mundo, savoir vivre. Son sólo sus comedias que no son graciosas, sólo sus trabajos filosóficos que carecen de filosofÃa, todo lo demás está lleno de ella; siempre hay algo de sustancia, nuevo, estimulante, profundo. Él es una fuente de conocimiento, pero cita a Homero y Horacio ad nauseam. Su agudeza y sus ocurrencias son como sal ática. Es sensible y generoso, pero disgústalo en lo
