==Life before San Diego==
Remondino was born in 1846 in Turin (Torino) Piedmont, (''Piemonte'' in Italian), which is now a region of Italy.<ref name="remondinoautobiography" /> Remondino migrated to America with his father at the age of eight.<ref name="remondinoautobiography" /> The family moved to Minnesota where he grew up.<ref name="remondinoautobiography" />
Remondino spoke several languages, including French, German, Latin, and Sioux.<ref name="remondinoautobiography" />
Neither Peter nor Charles are Italian names so he apparently anglicized his names at some point.
Remondino entered [https://www.jefferson.edu/university/skmc.html Jefferson Medical School] at Philadelphia in 1863.<ref name="remondinoautobiography" /> After medical school he served the United States Army as a medical doctor during the Civil War. He had some illness that he contracted from the bite of a mosquito.
After he returned to Minnesota, he continued to have health issues. He moved to San Diego where he believed the climate would be beneficial to his health in 1873, where he seems to have recovered his health. He practiced medicine and surgery there,<ref name="remondinoautobiography" />
