Father Américo,… the Father of the Poor…

Father Américo (Pai Américo)

“It was created by Henrique Moreira and inaugurated in August 1961. This bronze statue remembers Father Américo, standing up, lined by two "gaiatos" (little boys). The sculpture, which is set on a quadrangular plinth is made of pare graniten and is a work of sober but artistic lines. It was erected with the help of his countless admirers.”
