President of Argentina
During his administration, he cleaned up the finances and created the Banco de la Nación Argentina, Argentina's national bank, and the prestigious high-school that carries his name, Escuela Superior de Comercio Carlos Pellegrini, public school of noted academic level, part of Universidad de Buenos Aires.[1]
After the end of his term, he served as senator between 1895 and 1903, and in 1906, he was elected National Representative in the lower house.
His life
Pellegrini was the son of Swiss-Italian engineer Charles Henri Pellegrini (born in Chambéry) and María Bevans Bright, and grandson of English engineer James "Santiago" Bevans.[2]
Like many other nineteenth century Argentines prominent in public life, he was a Freemason.[3] He died in his native city of Buenos Aires and is buried in La Recoleta Cemetery.
