Marco Bragadino : ウィキペディア英語版 | Marco Bragadino
Marco Bragadino or Marco Bragadini (born ca. 1545 on Cyprus; died 26 April 1591 in Munich, Duchy of Bavaria) 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.〔(The living age, Volume 51 By Eliakim Littell, Robert S. Littell, Google books )〕 He convinced the government of Venice to finance his research into producing gold from base metals.〔( Ten Economic Blunders from History, #6. The Gold Factory of Venice )〕 ==Life== Almost nothing is known about Bragadino's childhood and youth. After the conquest of Cyprus by the Ottoman empire, his family presumably left the island for Venice like many other Christians. He claimed to be an illegitimate son of Venetian ''condottiero'' Marco Antonio Bragadin, murdered by the Turks after the siege of Famagusta.〔 In Venice, Bragadino is thought to have met Hieronymus Scotus from whom he learned the secrets of alchemy and the tricks of pretending to make gold.
