Cayetano Descalzi (or Gaetano Descalzi) (1809–1886) was an Italian painter and engraver who came to the Río de la Plata, now Argentina, in the 1820s.{{sfn|La vida cotidiana...}}[http://cvaa.com.ar/00sigloxix/05_p2_02.php Cayetano Descalzi] - Centro Cultural Recoleta {{in lang|es}}
In 1830, Descalzi married Juliana Miró, the widowed mother of Carlos Morel, who was also to become a celebrated artist.
They legally separated eight years later.{{sfn|Carlos Morel - Argentinidad}}
Descalzi is recognized for his oil lithograph of Governor Juan Manuel de Rosas, made in 1841, entitled "Rosas, el Grande", printed the following year by Lemercier of París.
He also made the portrait of the magistrate Don Tomas Giráldez in Quilmes.{{sfn|Agnelli|2012}}
