Read a selection of outstanding texts by Silvio Lancellotti in Folha

by

Journalist Silvio Lancellotti, who died this Tuesday (13), at age 78, wrote in Sheet over an interval of more than 40 years.

There were gaps between the early 1980s, when he published texts in Ilustrada, and his last collaborations, in 2012, when he offered cultural tips in São Paulo, but his participation was voluminous and crossed several themes.

He focused with greater voluptuousness on those that were two of his greatest passions, football and gastronomy. Below, a selection of some of Lancellotti’s reports and columns in Sheet.

Lord of the pools, but always dry

Maradona leaves Italy and says he doesn’t know if he’ll play for Napoli again

10.Jul.90 – Silvio, interviewer for Maradona

It was time to pack up and head straight from the Trigoria retreat to Fiumicino airport. It was dawn in Rome, and Argentina’s captain, Diego Maradona, still had his eyes red and swollen from crying. He occupied the very first seat of the delegation bus, next to the door. He wanted to be seen on the way, a last, vain flash of his pride, his bruised pride. Thanks to the help of a friend, I was able to do a balance sheet interview with him.

Germany reaches the third and consecrates Beckenbauer

9.Jul.90 – Silvio, chronicler of the 90’s Cup

In a very ugly game, West Germany defeated Argentina 1-0 and lifted the Fifa Cup of the Old Boot World Cup yesterday at the Olympic Stadium (Rome). It was the third world title for the German team. Kaiser Franz Beckenbauer’s team literally squeezed Carlos Bilardo’s squad into their field.
