Poty Lazzarotto

His father was a railroad worker and his mother ran a restaurant in the city, the "Wagon of the Armistice", much frequented by intellectuals from Paraná.

[2] Poty's father lost one of his arms, due to an accident, and to help with the family budget he was looking for aluminum pieces that were modeled in paintings of the Holy Supper to sell.

The shed that his father built in front of his house, in Curitiba, was renamed "Wagon of Armistice", becoming a restaurant since 1937, under the care of his mother.

The governor of Paraná, Manoel Ribas, frequented the restaurant and, in 1942, awarded Poty a scholarship at the National School of Fine Arts, in Rio de Janeiro.

In 1938, at the age of 14, Poty published in the newspaper Diário da Tarde the story "Haroldo, o Homem Relâmpago", in 6 chapters.
