Mario Asnago (born March 25, 1896, Barlassina, Italy, died January 28, 1981, Monza, Italy) was a prominent member of Italian Neo-Rationalist architecture and a defining force in the rise of a new language for modern minimalist design over the course of the 20th century. He collaborated with numerous innovators but worked most closely with Claudio Vender (1904–1986), with whom he founded Asnago-Vender Architetti.
Born in Barlassina, a small town outside of Milan, Asnago excelled as an artist at a young age and gained acceptance into a joint course of study held between the Politecnico di Milano and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan. He thrived under the
watchful tutelage of a talented faculty; However, his studies of him were put on hold in 1916 with the onset of World War I when he was called into military duty.
After his return from the war, Asnago completed his artistic studies, and in 1922, he graduated with a degree in architecture from the Accademia di Belle Arti of Bologna. It was there that he formed a friendship with Claudio Vender, who would become his chief
collaborator in the years to come. The two designers established the Studio Asnago-Vender Architetti on the Via Cappuccio in Milan and embarked on several ambitious projects. Their first collaborative creation was a proposed design for the Como War
Monument (eventually awarded to colleague Giuseppe Terragni in 1931), and later submitted successful proposals for the design of Palazzo de Via Manin (1933), an apartment block on Via Euripide (1934) , and the mixed-used structures on the Via Alberto
Albricci (1939), all in Milan. Asnago and Vender garnered further acclaim for their urban and furniture designs, some of which they showcased at the V Triennale di Milano Modern Environments Exhibition in 1933.
