He was pupil of Scanzi, while attending the "Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti" in Genoa (the same school where he himself became a teacher).

(1889), "Pescatorino" (1892, a work then reproduced and presented as a prize for Promotrice members, earning a stunning success which led the author to the Chicago World Exhibition in 1893). Around the turn of the century, Prof. V. Lavezzari increases his funeral production, assuming more and more a symbolist-liberty style. Milestones of these years are: the Coniugi Repetto grave (1897); from this complex, the detail The Genius of the Work was first exhibited at "Promotrice Genovese" in 1896 in its first cast.
