https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Ber ... uote]Mario Bernasconi was born in 1899 in Lugano-Pazzallo, in a house facing the Museum. He was the son of Luigi Bernasconi (electrician) and Caterina Dozio (seamstress). He grew up with his sister Maria (Nini), who was two years younger.[/quote]There is also a Mario Bernasconi Museum. I would recommend to contact them first and ask what they got on his family.
