Alvise de Gremanci

Alvise de Gremanci was a man living in Venice in the late 18th century.

He was an automaton and doll maker of some notoriety. His dolls and moving mechanical people were very fashionable at the time, and often made great gifts for children and mistresses. Because his dolls and mechanical animals were so life-like, he was at one point accused of sorcery, though nothing came out of it.

You heard from Maria Stagliani that his descendants are still making dolls.

He bought a piece of the Sedefkar Simulacrum, after it was carried in Venice by Napoleon's soldiers.
