Paolo Mantegazza (1831-1910). Italian physiologist, anthropologist and populariser of Darwinism in Italy.
Darwin cited him in Descent 2: 338, n36: "A full and excellent account of the manner in which savages in all parts of the world ornament themselves is given by the Italian traveller, Prof. Mantegazza, 'Rio de la Plata, Viaggi e Studi,' 1867, p. 525-545; all the following statements, when other references are not given, are taken from this work."
Mantegazza wrote several reviews of Darwin's works. http://darwin-online.org.uk/EditorialIntroductions/vanWyhe_Reviews_of_Darwin.html
