41 years between the two of them...
Giuditta Franco is a singer who has just turned 21, born into a family of musicians, who has probably always sung, but who also decided to train her voice by studying at the Conservatory.
The beauty of her velvety timbre, aided by impeccable vocal technique, reminds us of a forgotten, storytelling style, for which some of the greats of the past even created a precise definition for this way of singing: "crooner." And these greats range from Frank Sinatra, to Nat "King" Cole, to Tony Bennet, but also, on the female side, from Lena Horne, to Rosemary Clooney, to the very famous Diana Krall and Norah Jones.
Giuditta sings with a deep, velvety timbre, characterized by persuasive low notes and sparkling, firm, and never aggressive high notes, thus accompanying you into a dimension of true music, harmonically complex, melodically enchanting. All characteristics that find authentic exaltation and full appreciation in the great repertoire of classic bossa nova.
Pietro Pasinato is no less. A 20-year-old, excellent guitarist who, alongside rigorous academic studies at the Conservatory, has always maintained curiosity and dedication to other musical genres, primarily jazz, Brazilian music, and why not, with a nod to rock and blues.
His technique is unrivaled; it is a "metabolized" technique that, despite his young age, allows Pietro to focus on the nuances of the specific style he chooses to tackle each time: a kind of extremely elegant Zelig at the service of great music.
Giuditta and Pietro represent a mix as perfect as it is exclusive in today's young music scene. Far from being servants of a commercial system that would push them into completely different areas, both in terms of content and media space, they have instead chosen to ride the dangerous tiger of past masterpieces, a repertoire in which all the greats of all time have already expressed themselves.
It's a challenge that I know is already won, and it's no coincidence that I decided to capture it in an album that will make it clear to that more curious and attentive audience, far from the sirens of mass communication.
Retrato Brasileiro is the title of one of Baden Powell's most famous songs, which also perfectly describes the meaning of this album: a meaning that is even better captured intimately by the very famous song "Chega de Saudade," which means "No More Longing," and in the original lyrics is dedicated to a woman. But we want to interpret this text with a transferred meaning, dedicating the statement "No More Longing" to Great Music.
No more longing for the Great Brazilian Music of the Bossa Nova era, from all that audience tired of the plastic clichés imposed by the great media circus of contemporaneity: Great Music returns, and it does so not with an old glory on the decline, but with two very young artists who know how to breathe new life into true notes, those that will never die.
Enjoy listening!

Comfortable and Supportive Ergonomic Chair
I bought this chair a while ago but just got around to give a honest review, and I am okay with its comfort and support. The adjustable lumbar support provides excellent lower back relief. Assembly was straightforward, and the chair feels sturdy and well-built. A great value for anyone seeking comfort and quality in an office chair.

Decent chair for the price
Bought this for my boyfriend as an upgrade from his old chair. The wicker material is super comfy and breathable so you're never sweaty from the chair. It's also hyper adjustable. My only con is the bottom seat piece; it is a little too narrow for my hips to fit nicely (I'm a bigger girl) but for my boyfriend it just fits. It is not a deal breaker but something to consider especially if you're wider like me. Also since the entire bottom seat is wicker with zero padding, the front lip of can be a little uncomfortable with the plastic under piece slightly pushing into your legs but its more bothersome than anything. For the price I feel pretty good about it.

Awesome chair and great design!
The mesh surface of this chair is incredibly comfortable and provides excellent elasticity, making it perfect for extended use. Assembly was a breeze thanks to the clear instructions provided. I also appreciate the adjustable air pump, which allows for easy height adjustments to suit my needs. The neck and lumbar supports are fully adjustable, aligning perfectly with my body to offer strong, customized support. Overall, it's an exceptionally cozy chair with a sleek, modern design that combines comfort with style.

Great support and easy to assemble!
Really can't complain about anything about this chair, it was delivered quickly, packaged very securely and very easy to put together with simple instructions. I work from home and am older with multiple joint problems and this chair has many different ways to be adjusted that really help, especially if I'm extra achy or sore. I really like how the arm rest can be angled so that I can access my keyboard at my desk ergonomically and the arms can be lifted up and out of the way all together so that I can position myself closer to the desk when needed. A really nice chair for a great price.

Great Chair, But Armrests Are a Nuisance
This ergonomic office chair has a lot going for it. The mesh back is comfortable and breathable, the adjustable lumbar support is excellent, and the 3D headrest is a welcome addition for long workdays. The rocking function is also a nice feature to have. Overall, the chair is very comfortable and supportive, and seems well-made with the SGS Class 4 gas cylinder.
However, there's one glaring flaw that constantly annoys me: the armrests. While they are 3D adjustable, meaning they move up and down, forward and back, and side to side, there's no way to lock them in place. This means that every time I shift in my seat or even just slightly bump the armrest, it moves. It's incredibly frustrating to constantly be readjusting them. It disrupts my focus and makes it hard to find a truly comfortable and consistent position.
If the armrests could be locked, this chair would be near perfect. As it stands, this one issue significantly detracts from the overall experience. If you're someone who fidgets or moves around a lot while sitting, I'd seriously consider whether you can live with armrests that constantly need readjustment. For me, it's a daily annoyance that makes me question whether I'd buy this chair again.
