Pino Bernasconi (born April 22, 1904 in Riva San Vitale , † April 22, 1983 in Lugano ) was a Swiss lawyer and politician.

Life

Pino Bernasconi was the son of the Impresario Abbondio Bernasconi.

He attended high school in Lugano and studied law at the University of Rome ; there he came into contact with many prominent exponents of the literary and cultural life of Italy.

He finished his studies with the dissertation Dal sistema delle pene e delle misure di sicurezza nel progetto di Codice penale svizzero , in which he dealt with the system of penalties and security measures under the Swiss Criminal Code and which was commented on by Enrico Ferri .

After completing his studies, he worked as a lawyer and notary in Lugano and showed himself to be an articulate criminal lawyer. Later he was a youth judge and from 1936 to 1946 director of the cantonal penal institution .

During the Second World War , he helped several Italian refugees who had to flee as writers from fascist Italy and who found a hospitable reception in Lugano; he also sponsored various literary initiatives.

As a moderate liberal , he knew how to combine his political and civic engagement with his inclination towards culture.

From 1951 to 1967 he was represented as a free-spirited member of the Grand Council .

Pino Bernasconi was married to Maria Olga, b. Torriani.

In the 1940s he became editor of the Collana di Lugano , in which he published, among other things, the volume of poetry Finisterre by Eugenio Montale and Ultime Cose by Umberto Saba ; both manuscripts had been secretly smuggled across the border by Gianfranco Contini , professor at the University of Freiburg . His poetic works in Ticino dialect were also appreciated , for which he received the literary prize for prose and poetry.
