Born in Milan on August 27, 1881.
Place and date of death not found.
Ordained a priest in Rovigo on March 31, 1906, by Msgr. Antonio Polin for the congregation of Don Luigi Guanella, shortly after, on August 5, 1906, entered the Institute for Foreign Missions in Milan. Having taken the oath on December 1, 1907, he left the next day for the central Bengal mission. On February 21, 1912, shaken by malaria and cholera and discouraged by the difficulties, he made a formal request to leave the mission and the Institute and on the following July 5 he left Bombay for America, where traces of him are lost.
From 1905 to 1906, the year of his ordination, Don Guanella attentively followed the vocation of this young man. In July 1905 he announced to Msgr. * Giovanni Battista Baroni his arrival to continue his studies in Rovigo: «The donkeys Lavizzari and Reschini have arrived and were soon yoked to their cart». But a little later he asked Don Guglielmo Bianchi: "And is Reschini sure?" and again: «study if the cleric Reschini still thinks for the Missions rather than for our Houses, but he acts prudently». Notwithstanding Reschini's uncertain vocation, Don Guanella had him complete his studies, had prayers prayed for on the occasion of his priestly ordination, blessed him when he left the Institute for Foreign Missions and wanted to receive frequent news of his activity, such as those sent in 1911 from the Sordenbund missions.
