was an Italian antiquities excavator and adventurer, best remembered for having stolen the Joseph Smith Papyri, a collection of documents he took from a burial site in Egypt.

He apparently was as ruthless as his boss Drovetti, as Giovanni Battista Belzoni reported during one of his excavations at Karnak in 1818 and later: along with another Piedmontese agent named Rosignani, Lebolo harassed and maybe even tried to murder Belzoni, and later managed to steal some of his finds excavated at Philae.

[2] Between 1817 and 1821[1] Lebolo found a mummy cache in a shaft tomb at Sheikh Abd el-Qurna.

[2] Lebolo died some years after these events, possibly on February 19, 1830 in Castellamonte[1] or in an unknown date in Trieste.

Smith purchased the mummies and papyri, and interpreted some of the writings and scenes as some life events of the two patriarchs Abraham and Joseph.
