12 and a half years ago –
April 2010 – the magazine Superinteressante surprised
all of us and, in
particular, its readers with
an article that Richard
Simonetti, in a letter sent
to the magazine’s directors,
classified as an
“unfortunate report on
Francisco Cândido Xavier,
pretentious and
tendentious”, with the clear
target of “denigrating and
devaluing the work of the
great medium”. The episode
is remembered in a special
article in this issue.
