Background
Lorenzo Grimani is a university director at the prestigious Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia and hails from a noble Venetian family. He met Maria one day during a sudden downpour. While they both took shelter under an eave, Maria dropped her handkerchief. As they both reached for it, their fingers touched, and Lorenzo charmed her by romantically declaring that he could hear "fate" ringing bells of blessing for them. They soon fell in love and became engaged.↗
As a great admirer of Japanese manga, which he considers a form of traditional culture, Lorenzo is the chief organizer of an international cultural exchange event. He sends an official invitation for Rohan Kishibe to be the guest of honor for this event.↗↗
At a Confessional (Film)
Lorenzo first appears when he meets Rohan's editor, Kyoka Izumi, at the planned construction site for the university library. He is thrilled to finally meet Rohan's representative but becomes visibly dejected and heartbroken upon learning that Rohan is not with her and is instead exploring Venice on his own. He is disappointed because he would be busy in the following days, and would not be able to speak with Rohan. Kyoka learns that he would be busy due to his wedding with Maria in two days.↗↗
The next morning, Lorenzo learns from the church that Maria's father, Mizuo, has been persistently asking about their wedding date, confirming his fears that Mizuo will attempt to sabotage the ceremony. Lorenzo then becomes a key actor in Rohan's elaborate theatrical plan to deceive Mizuo and the curse. He rushes to Maria and proposes they outsmart her father by moving the wedding up a day to a secret location, and explains the plan.↗↗↗
After the plan succeeds and Mizuo flees, Lorenzo signals to Maria that the act is over. In the aftermath, he and Maria are happily and truly married in a proper ceremony, their union now free from the curse's shadow. During the real wedding, he shows a moment of charming clumsiness by dropping the wedding ring. As a final, personal gift, Rohan draws a one-of-a-kind illustration of Pink Dark Boy on the back of Lorenzo's wedding vest, much to his delight.↗↗
