Recent Syndics: Giacomo Girolamo Casanova de Seingalt

(April 2, 1725 – June 4, 1798)
Casanova was and still is a synonym for "Great Lover" and his quest for love within his one very long lifetime should be and is legendary. Also he was really the first sociologist, writing of daily European life with an x-ray vision...that was later used by Charles Dickens, William Mackpeace Thackery, and Anthony Trollope.
He was the QUuntessential Common Man (although a noble) searching for identity AS a common man, unfettered by religions and organizations, and a chronciler of his time which is basically the entire 18th century in Europe.
Also, he was an international spy and was a double agent working both for the Vatican and for the various groups who wanted to create a United States of Europe which was being led by Le Comte de Saint-Germain.
In his last years, he created a life-size robotic woman, who became his only companion, not in the sexual sense, but as the first robotic and enspirited human that he was still willing to have as a confident. This was when he was living at Hesse Castle.
