  Count Cagliostro - Crystalinks
"Cagliostro" is widely held to have been an alias for the charlatan Giuseppe Balsamo, born to a poor family in Palermo, Sicily.
The identification of Cagliostro with Giuseppe is not certain, however, being based mainly upon the untrustworthy testimony of the French spy and flmailer Theveneau de Morande, and later upon his confession to the Inquisition, obtained through torture.
This was where he was accused by Theveneau de Morande of being Giuseppe Balsamo, which he refuted in his Open letter to the English People, forcing a retraction and apology from Morande.

 OFF THE SHELF - "The Last Alchemist" : Legends Magazine, Issue 144
And another of his contemporaries – and some might say bitter nemesis – was a man originally born Giuseppe Balsamo in Palermo, Sicily.
Louis XVI had him thrown into the Bastille for his involvement in what came to be known as the “affair of the necklace,” in which Balsamo accidentally got himself involved in a large scale swindle that reached as high up as Marie Antoinette.
Whether or not Giuseppe Balsamo was indeed the last alchemist and high ranking Freemason to walk the Earth will depend entirely upon your beliefs, as most folk heroes are told about with as much fiction as fact.

 *Ø*  Wilson's Almanac free daily ezine | Count Allesandro Cagliostro: Alchemist or fraud? | Giuseppe Joseph ...
Cagliostro: Savant or scoundrel?: The true role of this splendid, tragic figure argues that he was not Balsamo at all, and Cagliostro’s defenders claim that the alleged count’s bad reputation is based upon the lies of one Theveneau de Morande, as well as a tract published by the Inquisition in 1791.
It was on that route that Giuseppe knew that he could do worse than to run some scams among pilgrims and hoteliers, and nor would the charms of his child bride would not go astray.
He notes in his diary that Balsamo seemed to have a brooding nature; maybe he thought better of bedding Seraphina when he guessed at the likely character of the strong youth who just a year before had knifed a waiter at the Locanda del Sol Hotel in Rome.

 Theosphy article "Was Cagliostro A 'Charlatan'?" by Blavatsky
The very name of Giuseppe Balsamo, which, when rendered by cabalistic methods, means "He who was sent," or "The Given," also "Lord of the Sun," shows that such was not his real patronymic.
The Count is incarcerated in Fort St. Angelo, the Countess in the Convent of St. Apollonia, and the monk in the prison of Araceli.
Giuseppe Balsamo is mentioned for the last time in the Bottini correspondence in a letter dated March 10th, 1792.

Sarà monsignor Giuseppe Barberi, fiscale generale del Sant’Uffizio, che nel suo Compendio sulla vita e sulle gesta di Giuseppe Balsamo, redatto nel 1791, smentirà queste dichiarazioni divenendo uno dei suoi più accaniti detrattori.
Nello stesso anno, il Balsamo si recò a Marsiglia e si cimentò nelle vesti di taumaturgo: sembra che, dietro lauto compenso, fece credere ad un innamorato di poter riacquistare il vigore fisico mediante l’attuazione di alcuni riti magici.
Dopo il 1772, quando, in seguito all’adesione alla massoneria, egli aveva assunto il nome di Alessandro conte di Cagliostro, incontrò il monaco benedettino Dom Antoine Pernety, uomo di vasta erudizione che era stato chiamato alla corte di Federico II di Prussia, dove aveva conosciuto importanti uomini di cultura che lo avevano iniziato alle scienze ermetiche.

The yardsticks of social judgment and conventional morality cannot be laid beside their character.
“I cannot,” Cagliostro testified, “speak positively as to the place of my nativity, nor to the parents who gave me birth.” His enemies said that he was Joseph Balsamo, a notorious adventurer and criminal from Sicily, but his words and deeds deny the identification.
Not one person who had ever seen Balsamo came forth to draw the connection.
