About the Item
Francesco Allegrini
Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, 1769
Engraving
Work on Paper
Count Ugolino della Gherardesca was a medieval Italian nobleman of Pisa accused of treason and locked in a tower with his sons and grandsons to starve to death. He was made famous as one of the damned souls in Dante’s poem the Inferno. Dante leaves unclear the ghoulish question of whether or not Ugolino ate his offspring’s corpses. The inscription makes reference to his fatal death. Signed. F. Allegrini, bottom right.
