Gibiteca Antonio Gobbo
Gobbo was an avid collector of comic books for much of his life, from childhood, around age 7, until in his 50s. His collection reached a peak or around 4,800 items, and so he decided to create the "Biblioteca Nacional de Histórias em Quadrinhos" (National Library of Comic Books), which existed between 1987 and 1992 in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. In 1992, he decided to donate its entire collection to Belo Horizonte's public library. His collection was named as "Gibiteca Antonio Gobbo".
Personal life
Gobbo is married to Enny Mumic Gobbo and the father of five children, Cecilia Gobbo, Denise Gobbo, Alexandre Gobbo, Fabiola Gobbo and Mauricio Gobbo. He currently[when?] lives in Belo Horizonte.
