Pedro Perez Delgado (better known as "Maisanta") is most noted as a life-long rebel who helped spur an uprising that, before his capture in 1922, left dead both a Venezuelan ex-president and a notorious state governor.[1] In the process, Maisanta had his family’s vast landholdings — known collectively as La Marquesena — confiscated.

The current president of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, is the great-grandson of Delgado.
