Ioannis Casanova

1927

About

He was born ca. 1849 to Stephanos Casanova and Theodora Stangalas. His family was of Italian descent. When the Genoese conquered Chios island in 1346, a revival of the cultural and economic life was noticed. The whole island was given to 29 merchants and ship-owners from Genoa. They established a stock company called Maona of which the Casanova family was a member. Ioannis had 4 siblings, Stamatios, Marionga, Zorzis and Demosthenes. Ioannis married his first cousin Katerina Yiambilis, daughter of Dimitrios Yiambilis and and Marouka Stangalas, and together they became the adoptive parents of a son they named Stephanos. He worked as a landowner. He and his wife resided at Odos Aplotaria in Chios in a home belonging to Katerina. As Ioannis lived there all his married life, he had legal ownership of two-thirds. He passed away of chronic myocarditis at his home, leaving Katerina a widow. His death notice read that, after long suffering from arthritis, the landowner and member of the esteemed Casanova family, passed away. He was a wise and reputable citizen of superior quality and honesty whose stately funeral was attended by many fine people from Chios. Condolences from the newspaper staff were conveyed to the grieving family along with wishes for his eternal memory. His brother Stamatios is my 3rd great-grandfather.
