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!

Soft...but fluffy and tall
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I've only had these pillows for about a week. They are a great quality pillow. The cover is soft and seems well made. My only complaint is that they are VERY full pillows. If you're tall with broader shoulders, you'll probably love them. If you're shorter with a smaller frame you will probably feel like your head is too high and your neck at a weird angle (my problem). There seemed to be mixed reviews about softness....I would consider these a nice medium pillow. Soft filling but firm enough that your head doesn't sink to the bed. Definitely NOT a down-like pillow, so if that's what you're looking for, this is not for you.

Soft, fluffy and surprisingly comfortable
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I really liked these pillows. I tried to show different things in my photos because I wanted people to see the details: the design, how fluffy they are, and how full and thick they actually look. They are so full that the pillowcase even looks tight once you put it on, which I actually loved because they look luxurious and well-filled.
At first glance they look very thick and high, but once you lay down they feel soft and fluffy instead of hard. They adjust comfortably and feel very cozy whether you’re sleeping, relaxing, or even reading before bed.
I think they offer a really good balance because they feel supportive without being stiff. Of course, pillow preference is very personal—some people like lower pillows and others like higher ones—but for someone who likes fuller pillows that are still soft and comfortable, these are great.
They are spacious, cozy, and feel like a very good purchase overall. I honestly don’t have any complaints so far. Definitely happy with them.

Great quality pillows. Very difficult wrapping.
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
The Pillows are the real deal. Very fluffy but with good support. I was surprised by the weight of the box they came in, pretty heavy so you know there’s good quality pillows inside.
The one negative is that the pillows are packed in very very tight plastic because they come compressed. But the thing is, it’s really a chore to open them. You have to be careful not to cut through the plastic to the material, but the plastic is put on so incredibly tight that it’s even hard to get your finger underneath.
But I found a way to open them. Near the top, insert A very flat metal ruler as far in as you could get it. Then cut through the plastic that’s above the metal ruler. That prevents a sharp tool from damaging the pillows. As you get through the plastic above the ruler, keep pushing the ruler further down into the package. Believe me, this simplifies what could be a very difficult unpacking. I am very surprised that the company that makes them does not insert the type of opener that you find on boxes you receive in the mail or even packages that you get from the grocery store where you just pull a tab and that opens the package.
These are really good pillows, but you must be very careful about using a sharp object when opening the box and when trying to cut through the plastic. I am a strong man and have the tools needed, a very flat metal ruler, and a box cutter, knife, or razor. Good luck. !!

These hold up very well
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I have NO luck with pillows. I’ve been in stores & tried them. They seemed ok there. At home, nope. I’ve been getting headaches & neck aches from lousy pillows. I’ll change one, a few nights relief. It doesn’t help that I’m prone to headaches. After reading about different pillows, I settled on these. The reviews were better than so many different ones I was looking at. Including high priced & brand names. I bought the standard size. When I saw, “Customers Usually Keep This”, I kept my fingers crossed. When I received them, I took one out of the package & put my head on it & thought, oh no! This is too hard! I tried it again. Ok….. I slept on it & haven’t had any pains since. It’s soft but firm enough to keep my head from sinking & messing up my neck. I don’t move. No more flipping my pillow over. My head doesn’t go below my neck anymore! This has been 2 months now, but it hasn’t changed at all. I wake up happy, not complaining. No more pains or headaches. This saved me from losing days with a heating pad or an ice pack. The price was excellent for 2 pillows. I can’t believe a blind buy was the answer! These are incredible. Finally, something worked for me.

Awesome Pillows!
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These pillows are super soft! I love them. I bought them when I caught a bad cold and needed to prop myself up. Worked so great! Definitely give these pillows a try. They're very reasonably priced too.
