Gateano Bonasi was his paternal ancestor and Francesco Giorgini was his maternal ancestor while his nephew, Frank Bonasi, was an engineer. He had three brothers, Francesco, Orazio and Gaetano. His brother, Francesco Bonasi, was a Senator.[2]
Bonasi graduated from his legal studies on 3 June 1861, and later dedicated his studies to administrative and constitutional law.[2][3]

Bonasi became a professor of administrative law at the University of Modena on 27 November 1865. He became a full professor on 10 December 1874 and remained in the position up until 11 August 1884. He then transferred to the University of Pisa and remained there until 1886.[2][4]
