Life

Lorenzo Marazzi was born on May 15, 1887 in Clivio, the son of the stonemason Angelo Marazzi. Mazzari graduated from high school in Clivio. In 1902 he emigrated to Switzerland, where he initially worked as a pavement boy in Langnau in the Emmental , before completing an apprenticeship as a bricklayer with his older brother in Trubschachen . In between he did military service in Italy, including rescue work after the Messina earthquake in 1908 and border service in the Swiss army between 1917 and 1918 after being naturalized .

In 1907 Lorenzo Marazzi opened a construction business in Signau BE. Later, he founded together with his son Hugo General partnership "Lorenzo Marazzi + Son". Marazzi's son Hugo opened his own company in 1951 and, after the death of his father, took over the former factory in Signau in 1953 as a branch. In 1963 he converted the general partnership into a stock corporation . Under Lorenzo Marazzi's grandson, Bruno, Marazzi Generalunternehmung AG , with its headquarters in Muri near Bern since 1989 , developed into one of the most important companies in the Bernese construction industry with a focus on large-scale buildings.
