Mr Galeazzi, 61, was taking his family on a trip to Jundiaí, in the São Paulo state, according to reports in Brazilian media.
All 10 victims of the crash were members of Mr Galeazzi’s family, Rio Grande do Sul state governor Eduardo Leite told a press conference. He added that the plane had taken off in unfavourable weather conditions.
The plane reportedly flew for 3km (1.8 miles) before falling into the urban area of the city just minutes after take-off on Sunday morning.
“At the time, it was revving up. You could see that it was accelerating a lot,” an eyewitness, Nadia Hansen, told Reuters news agency.
“Then there was a bang as it hit the building and then it passed close to my house and then it fell, and I thought it had dropped in front of the house,” she said.
Pictures from the scene show emergency workers attending to the smoking wreckage among debris from badly damaged buildings.
