'a lover' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for casanova that I've seen before include "Man noted for his amorous adventures" , "Italian who wrote of his sexual exploits" , "Legendary Italian womaniser" , "Man with reputation as lover of many women" , "Legendary lover" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
