Casanova Tour

The Casanova Tour is a handbook for the use of the private travelling carriage in eighteenth-century Europe and America. The project is also:

1. an accompanying guide to the Histry of my Life by Giacomo Casanova;
2. a picture-guide to travelling and other carriages, including a history of the English coupé or post-chariot;
3. a guide to the main European post roads and all their stages;
4. a guide to the different methods of travelling;
5. a guide to European currencies and coins and their rates of exchange.

The website The Casanova Tour was launched in 1999 by Pablo Hartmut Günther, an expert Casanovist from Lindenberg, with the collaboration of Marco Leeflang (Utrecht) and Gillian Rees (Eastborne), first in English and a year later in German.

Günther described the development of his research and his website in the article “With deux chevaux on Casanova Tour: About the Website www.giacomo-casanova.de” (“Casanoviana”, 2 [2019], p. 64). In April 2024 he donated The Casanova Tour to our project.

Casanova Thesaurus

This is a comprehensive list of primary and secondary works by or about Giacomo Casanova.

Works about Casanova have been consistently published during the 19th and 20th century and continue to appear in present-day publications.
A first census is offered by James Rives Childs, “Casanoviana. An Annotated World Bibliography” (Vienna, Nebehay, 1956).
Since 1958, the bibliography has been regularly surveyed by the journals “Casanova Gleanings”, “L’Intermédiaire des Casanovistes”, and “Casanoviana”.

Scholarly works that are not necessarily subject-specific to Casanova, yet cover his life and works in significant mesure, may also be included here.

Mapping Casanova - Casanopedia

Mapping Casanova is an encyclopedic collection of the world surrounding Giacomo Casanova. It intends to provide, in the most detailed and up-to-date way possible, news, documents, data, and also curiosities regarding the people, places, and events that are found in his writings or that concern this author.

The intent is to offer the scholar, but also the simply curious, a complete and continually updated overview, constantly verified, that takes into account all the discoveries made in the past and those that have come to light in recent times.

The compilation of the individual entries is entrusted to experts in the field who have carried out in-depth studies on the subject and who can therefore sketch a complete and reliable portrait based on evidence, dispelling theories lacking a scientific basis.
