was an Italian sculptor, both in stone but mainly in wood, active mainly in Palermo, Sicily.
Another Rosario Bagnasco (1810-1879), also from Palermo, was also a sculptor, but mainly remembered as a politician and prominent patriot, along with his brother, Francesco, a legal advocate.
They both belong to a large family of wood sculptors, including Girolamo Bagnasco (died 1832).
From there he worked with Giovanni Duprè in Florence,[3] and then in Rome with Giulio Monteverde.
He returned to Palermo, in 1873, and won a contest by completing a bas relief in marble depicting Frederick II placing the first stone for the Palazzo della Citta.
