By that kind of logic, almost every villain on this wiki falls into that category. Every usurper lusts for kingship. Every businessperson lusts for wealth. Every puppeteer lusts for control. Every monster lusts for bloodshed.

Simply having a desire for something does not make one lustful. In common usage, "lust" can refer to any kind of appetite, but in most cases it refers to a strong sexual appetite. Claude Frollo from Disney's Hunchback is an ideal example of a lustful villain. Driven by lust, Frollo drove Esmeralda into an outright "Choose me, or die" dilemma.

Giovanni, however, is just plain greedy. Greed and ambition are not the same as lust.
