The farewell on 21 July to what was a true pioneer of printing, founder of Chemical Incision Srl in Gambolò (Vigevano).
Renzo Lazzarini, who was considered a true genius by those who knew him and worked with him, has died at the age of 83. ‘He was able to create, in the 1970s, laminate printing plates measuring 4×2 metres with engravings on both sides. He was the first in the world to present them at the Düsseldorf trade fair’, so much so that he was “given editorial space in the most prestigious scientific journal of the time”.
Born on 5 November 1940, Renzo Lazzarini was ‘the man who had no boundaries’. He was sought after by internationally renowned scientists, such as Professor Antonino Zichichi, for whom he created circuits for satellites and particle accelerators, the only one – at that time – able to develop them with impressive dimensions and the required level of perfection. But it was to the leather sector that Renzo dedicated most of his life, in love with the fascination that the material offered. At the beginning of the 1990s, he set up the first application workshop to create special applications for fashionable leather and related articles, with customised prints and handmade decorations. In addition to being driven by a lively and curious intelligence, Renzo Lazzarini is also remembered as a generous, humble, ever-helpful man, the brother that everyone would have liked to have by their side day after day. Have a good journey Renzo!
