His favourites were: Candida of Tony Orlando's Dawn, Roly Poly of Stamford Bridge and, first of all, San Bernadino of Christie. His parents, still living in Italy, tell that it was really amazing to hear that "hit-child" singing in the pushing chair. Lorenzo attended normal school formation, and was never a too much good pupil. He was often catched with a book under the bench or a new disc of his favourites Christie and Elvis Presley.
