Career
A technical second striker, Lo Faso joined the Palermo youth system at the age of 9.
He made his first team debut with Palermo on 12 August 2016 during a Coppa Italia game against Bari. On 6 November 2016 he also made his Serie A debut on a game against AC Milan, playing a total ten league games during the 2016–17 season.
On August 2017 he left Palermo to join ACF Fiorentina on loan, with the right for the Viola to buy the player permanently by the end of the season. However, he only managed to make two short first team appearances as a substitute throughout the whole 2017–18 Serie A campaign, and being mostly featured as part of the Under-19 team. On April 2018, he suffered a broken fibula which effectively ended his season and led Fiorentina to renounce its transfer rights. He therefore rejoined Palermo for the club's 2018–19 Serie B season.
On 25 July 2019, he signed to Serie A club Lecce.[2] He made a single appearance for Lecce in Coppa Italia.
On 31 January 2020, he moved to Cesena in Serie C.[3]
