If this is any help, I have a dictionary that defines these terms as
follows:

 lento: A direction to perform in slow tempo.

 largo: A very slow tempo, with about 42 to 69 quarter notes
 per minute.  The slowest of the conventional tempos, it is
 usually combined with a broad, dignified manner of performance.
