Naples was his father's birthplace, where Edgar was welcomed by Hilaire, the emigre 'grandfather Ilario,' in the eighteenth-century palace built by Sanfelice which in the years to come the artist himself would partly own. In Florence, he reunited with another part of his family in the home of his aunt Laura Degas, married to Gennaro Bellelli. While Degas was busy perfecting the art of drawing amid the masterpieces displayed in churches and galleries, his pictorial efforts concentrated on the portraits of his Italian relatives.
