Manuel Orazi was an Italian Art Nouveau illustrator, poster artist, and jewelry designer, and a set creator for theater and film.

Notable works
In 1895 he created the Calendrier Magique, an occult-themed calendar still noted for its graphic design. Limiting it to 777 copies, he collaborated with popular French author Austin de Croze, who wrote the text. Sympathetic to the French Decadent movement, as well as Symbolism and Aestheticism, he contributed with illustrations and typographic ornaments in books and short stories such as: • Ma petite ville (1898) by Jean Lorrain • ''Princesse d'Italie'' (1898) by Jean LorrainAventures merveilleuses de Huon de Bordeaux (1898) by Gaston ParisAnne-Marie, La Providence (1899) by Daniel Laumonier • Les vierges de Syracuse (1902) by Jean BertheroyNévrose (1904) by Émile MorelHenri de Régnier, biographie (1904) by Paul LéauteaudÉmile Faguet, biographie (1904) by Alphonse Séché • Camille Lemonnier, biographie (1904) by León BazalgetteThéodora, impératrice de Byzance (1904) by Charles DiehlLe Nouveau Jeu (1905) by Henri LavedanLa danseuse de Pompéi (1905) by Jean BertheroyLa Morphine (1906) by Victorien Du SaussayDu Mystérieux au Tragique (1911) by Arthur Conan Doyle • ''L'Epouse du Soleil'' (1912) by Gaston LerouxLa guerre du feu (1913) by J.-H.

He made jewelry designs that were displayed at Maison de l'Art Nouveau in 1896. In 1899 he designed some of the first pieces of jewelry for the Maison Arnould. His jewelry designs were also sold at La Maison Moderne. Orazi designed one of the best known posters for La Maison Moderne as well as the cover of one of La Maison Moderne's catalogs which features Cleo de Merode in profile, perhaps wearing a design by Henri Van de Velde. For her theater at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1900, Loie Fuller commissioned Orazi to create the poster, which was printed in three editions and three color schemes. In 1921 he designed the sets and costumes for the silent film ''L'Atlantide'' and illustrated many promotional posters. Orazi contributed to publications such as anarchist satirical magazine L'Assiette au Beurre, Femina, Scribner's Magazine, Je sais tout and Les Maîtres de l'Affiche. ==References==
