Fr. Lino was born at Piracicaba, in the State of Sao Paulo, in a quarter which was inhabited by Italian immigrants and which became a nest of many vocations to priesthood and religious life. He studied at Rio Claro nad Ribeirão Preto and was ordained a priest in 1944.
He exercised his ministry firstly as a formator in the same formation communities and subsequently was sent to work in different parishes, always showing a particular zeal in the apostolic work. He was always ready to the needs of the faithful, exemplary and dedicated, faithful to the teaching of the Church which he loved in a particular way. Gifted with a deep spiritual life, he was devoted to Our Lady and worked for the spreading of the `Legion of Mary´ and for the development of liturgical singing.
He was very faithful to his religious commitments, being always the first at meetings and community prayer and had a deep devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. He published also some articles containing wise teachings.
He started feeling sick and was diagnosed with a cancer in the oesophagus. He was operated and recovered quite well but later on his health conditions deteriorated.
