High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Carlo Pellegrini (March 25, 1839 - January 22, 1889) was an Italian caricaturist, born in Capua of aristocratic stock. His father came from an ancient land-owning family, while his mother was descended from the Medici. From 1869 to 1889 he was a caricaturist for Vanity Fair magazine, a leading journal of London Society. His work for the magazine made his reputation and he became its most influential artist. He was educated at the Collegio Barnibiti, and then at Sant' Antonio in Maddaloni, near Naples. As a young man he caricatured Neopolitan Society, modelling his portraits on those of Melchiorre Delfico and Daumier and other French and British artists of the period. Pellegrini claimed to have fought with Garibaldi; however, those who knew him well dismissed this as fantasy. Deciding to leave Italy in 1864 after a series of personal crises, including the death of his sister, he travelled to England via Switzerland and France.
