Another individual of note was Giacomo Barno (1742-1812), a prominent lawyer and political figure from the city of Brescia. He played an active role in the political upheavals that took place in the region during the late 18th century and was a vocal advocate for the rights of the local population.

In the 19th century, the Barno family had established roots in the town of Chiari, near Brescia.
