Life
Mello is a brother of the poet João Cabral de Melo Neto and cousin of the sociologist Gilberto Freyre and the poet Manuel Bandeira . He studied history and philosophy in Madrid and London.

In 1975 his first historical work on the northeast (Nordeste) Olinda restaurada was published , which was followed by other works and numerous papers in specialist journals such as the Revista do Instituto Arqueológico, Histórico e Geográfico Pernambucano . In 1992 he was honored with a special doctorate from the Universidade de São Paulo . Thematically, he deals with the Portuguese colonial history of Brazil, revolutions in Brazil and the history of Pernambuco, especially with Dutch Brazil .
