In the regions of Lombardy and Veneto, where the name is most prevalent, early records show variations in spelling such as "Bugno" and "Bugnon." These regional differences reflect the linguistic diversity of the time and the influence of local dialects.

One of the earliest known references to the BUGNO surname appears in a 1372 document from the city of Verona, where a certain "Pietro Bugno" is mentioned as a landowner. This record provides valuable insight into the presence of the name in northeastern Italy during the Middle Ages.

Another notable figure was Giovanni Battista Bugno (1737-1811), a celebrated painter from Bassano del Grappa. His masterpieces, such as "The Adoration of the Shepherds," adorn the walls of several churches and museums in the Veneto region.

During the 19th century, the BUGNO name found its way into the literary world with the birth of Antonio Bugno (1850-1919), a poet and playwright from Padua. His works, which often explored themes of love and nature, were widely acclaimed during his lifetime.

In the field of science, Emilio Bugno (1875-1942) made significant contributions as a pioneering physicist from Milan. His research on the properties of electromagnetic waves laid the foundation for modern wireless communication technologies.

Lastly, the 20th century witnessed the rise of Alessandro Bugno (1920-2005), a renowned sculptor from Verona. His monumental sculptures, including the iconic "La Vittoria" in Milan, continue to inspire artists and art lovers alike.
