Augusto Armellini's portrait

Augusto Armellini (c. 1827 – 2 March 1912)[1] was an Italian politician. He was the son of Carlo Armellini and his second wife, the artist Faustina Bracci.[2] He was acting mayor of Rome from July 1880 to October 1881, and mayor of Rome, Kingdom of Italy, from 1889 to 1890.[3][4][5] Shortly afterwards he was struck by blindness and paralysis. After a lifetime of fierce opposition to the Catholic church, he underwent a death-bed conversion before his death at the age of 86. He was buried in the Campo Verano.[6] [7]
