Giovanni Giacomo Casanova (1725-98) was an Italian musician, soldier, gambler, spy, diplomat and writer who was at the centre of many scandals involving women.  He recounted his escapades in a notorious autobiography.  Today any man who is an adventurous, uncontrolled and an irresponsible lover may be called by others Casanova.

*Decoupage is the art of decorating an object by glueing paper cut outs onto the surface.   Each layer is sealed with varnish, often multiple coats, until the 'stock on' appearance disappears and the result looks like a painting or inlay work.   Artisans in Italy have produced decorative objects using decoupage techniques since the early 18th Century.
