Description

Rare note from the legendary Casanova

Italian adventurer (1725–1798) who spent most of his life traveling through Europe meeting the famous men and women of his time; he is probably best known for his ‘Memoirs,’ which were concerned with his many love affairs. Exceedingly rare ANS in Italian, one page, 8 x 11.5, no date. Brief note regarding financial matters, in full (translated): “I am sorry that I didn’t fulfill my obligation, I will do it at the middle of next January.” In very good condition, with central vertical and horizontal folds, scattered stray ink marks, light areas of staining, and a small hole to the lower left corner. Casanova material of any sort is incredibly difficult to come by; he also frequently signed using his last name only, making this example signed in full especially desirable. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
