About Augusto Lorenzini
Augusto Lorenzini was an Italian-born artist decorator who arrived in New South Wales in 1883. In the 1880s and early 1890s his commissions in Sydney were mostly carried out in the High Renaissance style of Raphael and ranged across commercial, ecclesiastical and domestic work. He was awarded a first order of merit for his mural art decorations in the New South Wales court at the 1888 Melbourne Centennial International Exhibition. In the late 1880’s he purchased 20 acres at Castle Hill. Throughout the 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century, he made his living partly from painting and partly from fruit growing. In 1914 Lorenzini was declared insolvent, moving permanently to the orchard and fading into obscurity.
