Bernardino Facciotto

Bernardino Facciotto (1540–1598) was an Italian military and civil architect who was born and died in Casale Monferrato.

In 1583, he made an important work in the palace Gazzuolo and the following year he extended the residence of Goito, where Guglielmo retired to pray.

In 1587, he worked in the fortress of Cavriana, in Villimpenta's "Villa Zani" which in the same year became the property of Gonzaga and had been projected in 1530 by Giulio Romano.

On Guglielmo's death, Facciotto worked for his successor Count Vincenzo I of Gonzaga at the family mausoleum in the church of San Francesco in Mantua.

In 1588, he was invited to Castel Goffredo, home of Marquis Alfonso Gonzaga, for the reconstruction of the church of San Erasmo, where the dome had fallen.
