CAVALLOTTI, FELICE (1842-1898), Italian politician, poet and dramatic author, was born in Milan. In 186o and 1866 he fought with the Garibaldian Corps, but he first attained noto riety by his anti-monarchical lampoons in the Gazzetta di Milano and the Gazzetta Roas between 1866 and 1872. Elected to parlia ment in 1872, his turbulent eloquence secured for him the leader ship of the extreme Left in 1886 on Bertani's death. His advocacy of democratic reform made him the most popular man of his day next to Crispi, against whom he waged an unceasing and bitter campaign. He was killed in a duel with Count Macola.
