[THREAD 🇧🇷]

Colorir fotos é um processo solitário. Antes mesmo de começar a colorização, passo horas - ou até dias - lendo, pesquisando, estudando e vasculhando histórias.

É demorado, às vezes emocionalmente desgastante, mas eu amo cada segundo.
Meu trabalho me deu a oportunidade de conhecer pessoas incríveis: professores, historiadores renomados, autores; e alguns até se tornaram amigos.

Mas, mesmo que todos esses encontros signifiquem muito para mim, nenhum deles consegue ou conseguiu me preparar...
... para os momentos em que tenho a oportunidade de conversar com parentes de pessoas retratadas nas fotos que colori.

I have a nice little story with this photo.

After I published it, in 2016, I received a message from the granddaughter of the owner of this shop/building.

Another thread, and more of my favorite graffiti found in Pompeii's excavations.

1. In the Basilica: Virgula to her friend Tertius: you are disgusting!
2. Triclinium of the house: Restitutus has deceived many girls.
3. House of the Centennial; interior of the house: Once you are dead, you are nothing.
