The Bernasconi family is a Swiss Italian family from Ticino which produced numerous stuccoists, architects and sculptors active in Italy, Spain, Germany and Russia.
[1] The Lugano region also produced many other internationally successful people in these fields, often closely related with the Bernasconis, such as the Vassallis (Francesco and Giovanni) of Riva San Vitale and Giovanni Pietro Magni of Bruzella.
