The founder of the Freemasonry of the Egyptian ritual, the Prophet and the Calling Spirit, this Sicilian, whose real name Giuseppe Balzamo, had truly inexperienced ingenuity and extraordinary hypnotic abilities that allowed him to confuse his head almost all of the enlightened Europe. But, having believed in his star, Cagliostro did not notice how he became a bargaining coin in the political games of the powerful of this world, frightened by the French revolution.

And to believe or not to believe in the immortality of the Divine sorcerer Cagliostro is the case of the reader himself …
