1. count alessandro di cagliostro

   Count Alessandro di Cagliostro (US: , Italian: [alesˈsandro kaʎˈʎɔstro]; 2 June 1743 – 26 August 1795) was the alias of the Italian occultist Giuseppe Balsamo (pronounced [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈbalsamo]; in French usually referred to as Joseph Balsamo).Cagliostro was an Italian adventurer and self-styled magician. He became a glamorous figure associated with the royal courts of Europe where he pursued various occult arts, including psychic healing, alchemy and scrying. His reputation lingered for many decades after his death, but continued to deteriorate, as he came to be regarded as a charlatan and impostor, this view fortified by the savage attack of Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881) in 1833, who pronounced him the "Quack of Quacks". Later works—such as that of W.R.H. Trowbridge (1866–1938) in his Cagliostro: the Splendour and Misery of a Master of Magic (1910), attempted a rehabilitation.

1. count alessandro di cagliostro

   Count Alessandro di Cagliostro was an Italian adventurer and self-proclaimed magician. He was born as Giuseppe Balsamo in Palermo, Italy, in 1743. He adopted the title Count Alessandro di Cagliostro and gained fame throughout Europe for his charismatic personality, his claimed healing and alchemical abilities, and controversies surrounding his actions and fraudulent activities. He was involved in various scams, mystic rituals, and seances, most notably the Affair of the Diamond Necklace which greatly damaged the French royal family's reputation prior to the French Revolution. Cagliostro was eventually arrested by the Inquisition in Rome in 1789 and was sentenced to death (later commuted to life imprisonment), where he died in 1795. His life has been the inspiration for many literary and dramatic works.
