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.^[1]

Notable members[]

One of the most notable members include Domenico, who founded such school. 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.^[3]
