Born in Brescia (20 April 1932) to parents from Levrange, he always maintained close ties with his country of origin at least until the moment of the collapse, in Christmas 1959/60. Present on the Brescia art scene for over fifty years, Cargnoni, after having taught for thirty years in city schools, has dedicated himself entirely to painting since 1982, having in the meantime learned the technique of graphics (etching-aquatint). His works have been exhibited in personal and collective exhibitions in many Italian cities and also abroad, among which we remember: Brescia, Bergamo, Milan, Cremona, Marina di Carrara, Mantua, Modena, Trento, Palermo, Marsala, Modica, Enschede (Holland), Belèn (Brazil). One of his graphics was exhibited at the MOMA in New York; another, Chrysalis, was reported at the Rockford Print Competition of the University of Rockford (USA).
