[1] Lorenzato's paintings also have a very characteristic pattern made by the use of vivid colors mixed with an adapted comb that left shades and texture at the canvases.
However, in the late 1920s, due to the outbreak of Spanish flu that hit Brazil, Lorenzato and his family returned to Italy, where he became a wall painter in the reconstruction of the town of Arsiero, destroyed during the First World War.
[3] A self-taught artist, he educated himself in the major renaissance historical movements, and after a short enrollment at the Reale Accademia delle Arti in Vicenza in 1925, he engaged at a year-long cycling trip across Europe with a Dutch painter that he had met, Cornelius Keesman.
[6] It was only after sustaining an injury to his leg in 1956 that Lorenzato committed himself to full time painting, and settled back into Belo Horizonte where he developed most of his work.
[1] In 2014, Lorenzato's work was featured in two solo exhibitions at Galeria Estação and Bergamin & Gomide in São Paulo, organized by artists Alexandre da Cunha and Rivane Neuenschwander.
