Buçaco - Palace Hotel Buçaco
Luigi Manini, Count of Fagagna (1848 – 1936) was a European set designer and architect. He was born in Crema, Italy, and studied at the Brera Academy before becoming an assistant to Carlo Ferrario, the professor of stage design at La Scala. Manini then moved to Portugal to work for the Real Teatro de São Carlos (nowadays the Teatro Nacional de São Carlos) in 1879.
Today, Manini is best remembered for his neo-Manueline architecture designs, especially the last palace of the kings of Portugal, the Buçaco Palace, begun in 1888 and today a prestigious hotel.
