The Gagini or Gaggini were a family of architects and sculptors, originally from Bissone on Lake Lugano.
This family founded Sicily's Gagini school, which flourished until the mid-1600s.
One of the earliest records of his name involved a contract concluded in 1463, commissioning a monument in the church of the convent of San Francesco, Palermo, for Pietro Speciale.
[2] His son, Antonello, is considered the most important of the Gaginis[2] and one of his works was the decorated arch in the Capella della Madonna in Trapani's Santuario dell'Annunziata.
[1] He was also known for the decorations of the apse of the Palermo cathedral in 1510[2] and the statue of St. George and the Dragon with panels inside the Church of San Francesco D'Assisi.
