Antonio Lorenzoni

Antonio Lorenzoni (Montecchio Maggiore 10 June 1755 – 30 September 1840) was an Italian lawyer, jurist and music theorist.

[1] In his youth, he received a musical education, but the Saggio per ben sonare il Flautotraverso (1779) remains the only evidence of this juvenile passion, which presumably ended with the beginning of his profession as a lawyer.

[1][2] He then began working as a freelance lawyer at the Vicenza Bar until he was promoted in 1813 by the government of the Kingdom of Italy to Avvocato del Fisco, a position he held for thirteen years.

[4] Late in life he acquired a reputation as an influential jurist, so much so that he was esteemed even beyond the borders of Italy.

[3] On his death, a municipal decree had his body moved to the Vicenza cemetery, near the tombs of the most illustrious citizens.
