The Look Of Love In Brazil

Today in Rio de Janeiro we saw the look of love from two lovebirds who have been in love since they were eight years old.

We had the great pleasure of interviewing Attilio Borriello and his bride of 51 years, Arlette. And trust us when we say this – they look like love! They are the look of love.

Attilio and Arlette are from San Lorenzo, Minas Gerais, Brazil, the third largest metropolitan area of the country and about a four-hour drive from Rio. They were in Rio visiting family, and we were introduced to them by their 23-year-old grand daughter, Cristiana.

We were blessed by the opportunity to interview them today over lunch at La Garota de Ipanema (The Girl from Ipanema) restaurant.

All too often in life, people make assumptions about love and relationships that do not stand up under scrutiny – that are not supported by the available evidence.
