Hotty from History #26-   Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt (April 2, 1725 – June 4, 1798) Why he qualifies (and so spectacularly!) He was a suprisingly studious hotty, and studied moral philosophy, chemistry, and mathematics, as well as being keenly interested in medicine. However, he wasn’t a total swot whilst at University (which he attended from the age of 12-17!)- he also got into gambling and generated a lot of debt. This seems to be a habit of hotties…general debauchery and naughtiness. Casanova’s first proper sexual experience was a threesome with two sisters. Okay…so there is something incredibly weird about that, but also, impressive! Lucky Casanova managed to tick off one of the most popular modern sexual fantasies before it was even a fashion. And I imagine Nanetta and Maria Savorgnan were probably hotter than The Veronicas. He was a very witty man, which probably helped him to get the large majority of women he bedded into…ahem…bed. One of his most perceptive insights was on love and anger-  ”To reason rightly one must be neither in love nor in anger; for those two passions reduce us to the level of animals; and unfortunately we are never so much inclined to reason as when we are agitated by one or the other of them.” As well as being a superior shag, Casanova also committed a number of political crimes. This shouldn’t be attractive but it basically is…a rebel and a rogue generally manages to set the pulse racing more than a boring old goody two shoes He has been depicted in film form by both David Tennant and Heath Ledger, a delectable Scot and a delicious (but very sadly dead) Australian. Being immortalised on screen by hot modern actors definitely qualifies one as a hotty. Despite having a full name that hardly rolled off the tongue, Casanova is history’s most famous lover. I hereby challenge the contributors (and indeed the followers) of hottiesfromhistory to call out ‘Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt!!’ next time they achieve an orgasm, in honour of our 26th hotty.  -Georgia

Why he qualifies (and so spectacularly!)

  • He was a suprisingly studious hotty, and studied moral philosophy, chemistry, and mathematics, as well as being keenly interested in medicine.
