Campionese (artist)

Bonino da Campione: Tomb of the Milanese nobleman Bernabò Visconti, Milan, 1363

As the Campionese , Campionesian School ( Italian Scuola Campionese) or Campionesian Masters (Italian Magistri Campionesi), a group of builders and sculptors from the early 13th and 14th centuries, all from Campione d'Italia , today an Italian enclave in the Swiss canton of Ticino . The Gothic artists from this area, who are not exactly known by name, were given the emergency name da Campione (from Campione) due to their common origin , but it does not represent a family name to be glorified in churches.

Belong to the Campionese

• Bonino da Campione (* around 1325; active from 1350 to around 1390)
• Giovanni da Campione (* around 1320 – around 1375)

The Romanesque sculptor Anselmo da Campione and his successors had also worked as stonemasons for the Cathedral of Modena as early as the 12th century , which points to a long tradition of craftsmen and representatives of this art form from the region around Campione.
