The project brought together stories of those who found their own place - sometimes by winding paths - and left its mark. "The result is a rich record of important people. This allows you to think the city from the people portrayed and, more than that, demonstrates the wealth of the city ", says the journalist José Carlos Fernandes, editor of the series and show curator.

The people portrayed are equipped with a humanity that approaches the reader. This is well summarized in the phrase attributed to Millôr Fernandes and that gives title to the book and the exhibition. In addition to showing a face of the personalities, the work also invites us to enter in their intimacies, exploring little-known aspects of respondents.
