Bragadino's portrait
Marco Bragadino or Marco Bragadini (c. 1545 – 26 April 1591) was a Venetian confidence man who claimed to be an alchemist. His name at birth is said to have been Mamugna but he impersonated the son of the dead military officer Marco Antonio Bragadin.[1] He convinced the government of Venice to finance his research into producing gold from base metals.[2]
