GC and his siblings Maria Elizabeth and Nando Carneiro (personal collection)
The family house, at the end of the fifties, is frequented by icons from the world of culture and arts: musicians such as Jacob do Bandolim and Sílvio Caldas, writers such as Fernando Sabino and Paulo Mendes Campos. The family spends a few months in Brasília and, while looking for a suitable place to stay according to their middle class status, are put up at the Granja do Torto for a few weeks. These circumstances ended up by making him into a political psychopath for good.
