Amadeo Luciano Lorenzato (Belo Horizonte, 1900 – Belo Horizonte, 1995) was a wall painter, a stonemason and a plastic artist. A son of Italian immigrants, he was educated in the capital of Minas Gerais and became a wall painter. With the epidemic of Spanish influenza, which hit the capital in the 1920s, Lorenzato’s family returned to Italy, where the young man went to the first specialised school, which is the Royal Academy of Art, in Vicenza. It was during this period that the young artist got to know, and was bowled over by, the works of the masters of the First Renaissance.
