Villa Bernasconi is an Art Nouveau residence on the shore of Lake Como in Cernobbio, Italy, completed in 1906 to a design by Milanese architect Alfredo Campanini for textile manufacturer Davide Bernasconi as a showpiece of his commercial success. The two-story building has a distinctive turret and elaborate decoration, including ceramic tile friezes, wrought iron fixtures and stained glass. Since 2017 it has operated as a museum devoted to Art Nouveau and to the Bernasconi family, described as the first permanent talking museum on the subject.
