Suspected by the Inquisition, he fled Venice in 1749, traveling to Lyon, Paris, Dresden, Prague, and Vienna. On his return to Venice, he was arrested on suspicion of being a Freemason and magician, and was cast into the Piombi, the state prison. In his Histoire de ma fuite he describes his ingenious escape from this prison. He is best known for his Histoire de ma vie, or History of my Life, which protrays him as a man devoid of moral principles and a seducer of women. FTP, who is this Italian adventurer?
