Beniamino Vergani (born 2 June 1863 - died 15 July 1927) was an Italian chess master.
A businessman who learned the game in 1884, and very soon was distinguished himself in the local tournaments. He took part in the national tournament at Turin 1892, coming second behind Torre. Vergani took 22nd place at Hastings 1895. He had won second prize in an Italian National Tournament prior to this[1].
In 1900, he came 2nd-3rd in Rome scoring 10 out of 14, and in 1901 he was fifth in Venice with 5.5 out of 14. He attempted problem composition, and wrote the chess column of Illustrated Sport of Milan from 1890 to 1897, the year in which it ceased publication.[2]
