Felice Caronni (1747–1815) was an Italian memoir writer, numismatic and archeologist.
He fell victim to the Barbary slave trade after having been abducted by the barbary corsairs in 1804 and sold in Tunis, where he spent several years as a slave. After having returned to Italy, he wrote a memoir of his experience as a slave, which is one of the latest slave narratives of the barbary slave trade.[1]
