This article is pure MT gobbledygook. The Lead on the original Italian article isn't very good either, and is in part unsupported hagiography, and part catalog-like promotion.
I'm boldly blanking the article as having no value added, and replacing it with a brief stub pieced together from bits and pieces of the Italian article. It can be expanded from here. Mathglot (talk) 07:19, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've added an {{Expand Italian}} banner to the article, and although I'd certainly like to see the article fleshed out with a lot more detail, I'd caution editors to be wary of the Italian article, which is unreferenced, and in places sounds to me like a cut-paste from a catalog, and if it is, any translation of it here would be subject to removal for copyvio reasons. So I'd be careful about translating, or even paraphrasing, the Italian article. You'd be better off just rebuilding the article from scratch, using whatever references that can be found. Probably the list of tombs he worked on could be put back in, but again, that would need sources. The graphics from mediawiki can be restored now, if desired, but the article is too short now to support a lot of graphics, so I'd just add the images back one by one, as the article starts to grow in length again.
One additional caution: I have not found a lot of references on web sites about Lavezzri, and the ones I have seen are Wikipedia mirrors or paraphrases; those cannot be used. There are some references in Google books, but the snippets are too short too glean much from them. Probably we'll need access to the physical books in order to source this article properly, even in its current stub state. Mathglot (talk) 07:57, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
