With the recent “discovery” of a lost movie describing the success of the textile industry in Brazil for the family of Guilherme Giorgi, I decided to “get the story straight”. I had several conversations with my parents, aunts, and uncles asking about “the old man” (their grandfather), and ask for details of Guilherme’s life. Slowly a story emerged describing how a family in northern Italy decided to look for better fortunes in the new continent , leaving Lucca, Italy, and immigrating to Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is the story of Guilherme, his parents, and brothers and sisters conquering the difficulties to create a successful life in Brazil, to create one of Brazil’s most successful family fortunes of the 1900’s.

A Vida de Guilherme Giorgi

Na ocasião da “achada” recente de um filme sobre a indústria têxtil no Brasil da família de Guilherme Giorgi, decide conversar com os meus pais e meus tios para documentar como Guilherme começou a vida e deu início no que se transformou no Grupo Giorgi.
