These are the two books I wrote in my spare time. Projetores Paralelos (Parallel Projectors) takes place inside a movie theater, telling the story of 11 people sharing the same screening. Cordel Tricolor tells the history of São Paulo Futebol Clube in cordel, a popular poetic form in Brazil.
"A complex of accounts and testimonies crafted by Ghilardi, so that perhaps — just perhaps — we can grasp how an apparently mundane act can be transformed into a creative narrative, to say nothing of a nostalgic one." Le Monde Diplomatique Brasil
"One of the most creative works ever sent to the blog. In 'Cordel Tricolor', Giovanni Ghilardi tells the history of São Paulo through cordel poetry, with illustrations of the club's great idols inspired by woodcuts, created by designer Thiago Grizilli." Futebol Café · Medium
