Career
At 2ft 8in tall Magri was two inches shorter than Lavinia"s first husband. Magri"s supposed twin brother, Giuseppe (or Ernesto) Magri (1850-?), also a dwarf, used the stage names Baron Magri and Baron Littlefinger. While the military and aristocratic titles that P. T. Barnum gave his dwarves were fantasy titles, it is claimed that the Count was given his title by Pope Pius IX. The Magris are said to have had very expensive tastes, and were therefore forced to exhibit themselves into old age.
Count Primo Magri died in 1920 at Middleborough, Massachusetts aged 71 years.
