Diego Bernasconi
Director
Born in 1971 in Mendrisio, on the border between the Po Valley and the Pre-Alps. In those years his parents founded a theater company. Much of his childhood is spent between scripts, stages, dressing rooms and curtains. In the 90s he collaborates and adapts several plays for various companies. Until 1999, when, with his father, he wrote his first comedy. From then on, everything grew and the ideas matured over the years took shape: he wrote another four comedies and three novels; he begins a collaboration with the Swiss radio and television RSI for the writing of five episodes of a radio sitcom.
He also enters the world of cinema, writing screenplays for three feature films: «La Palmira ul Film» (2013), «Complotto nel Mendrisiotto» (2015) and «Grand Hotel Stella Alpina» (2016). He is a versatile artist as well as an inexhaustible source of ideas and projects that feeds on the enthusiasm and desire to always give the public new emotions.
