Giovanni Rusconi (died 1412) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Parma (1383–1412).
[1] He was born in Como to the noble Lombard family of Rusca (or Rusconi), at the time very powerful and related to the Visconti of Milan.
At the request of Gian Galeazzo Visconti he was appointed bishop of Parma by Pope Urban VI.
During his episcopate, strengthened by the support of the Visconti lineage, he was mainly concerned with defending and increasing the privileges of the Parma church.
[2] In 1398 he had the Rusconi chapel erected in the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, in Gothic style[3] dedicated to St. John and whose frescoes rediscovered in the 1830s have been attributed to Martino da Verona.
