Did Casanova really exist?

I've been looking for some information about Casanova. I've always thought he was a personage from a book. But, apparently, he has really lived. And had written some books too.

I've also discovered that the name of the castrato wasn't Belino, and that Henriette isn't from Venice. Could anybody tell me the true story of Casanova? Or is there perhaps a book available which tells this?

The woman who started my school was one of his daughters. I can't remember her name.

I'm anespeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulations...
