Campos do Jordão é um município brasileiro localizado no interior do estado de São Paulo, mais precisamente na Serra da Mantiqueira. A cidade tem altitude de 1628 metros, sendo portanto, o mais alto município brasileiro, considerando-se a altitude da sede. Sua população estimada, em 2004, era de 47.903 habitantes. Dista 167 Km da cidade de São Paulo (capital), 350Km do Rio de Janeiro (capital) e 500 Km de Belo Horizonte. Sua principal via de acesso rodoviário é a Rodovia Floriano Rodrigues Pinheiro, que tem início em Taubaté, município localizado a 45 km da cidade.

 

Campos do Jordão é chamada de Suíça Brasileira, principalmente pela sua arquitetura de influência europeia e pelo seu clima frio. Por isso, a cidade recebe maior quantidade de turistas durante a estação do inverno, especialmente no mês de julho.

   

Campos do Jordão is a municipality in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. The population in 2003 was 47,903 and the area is 290.27 km². The elevation is 1,628 m.

The city's economy is based mainly in tourism; due to its location at high elevation (on the Mantiqueira mountains) and European-looking architecture. Buildings are mostly German, Swiss or Italian inspired. Many of the richest people from the state of São Paulo build there their winter country houses there and July (the winter season vacations) sees an enormous influx of visitors (more than quadrupling the city's population), due in part to the winter festival of classical music. Its attractions throughout the year include German and Swiss food restaurants, bars and a cable car. There are many pousadas (inns) and chalets.

There are numerous outdoor activities for winter residents and tourists. These include hiking, mountain climbing, treetop cable swings (arborismo), horseback riding, ATV riding, and motorbike riding. The mountain ranges provide unique panoramic views and much of the area is still undeveloped. Also, in order to cater to the large number of visitors, several bars, lounges, discos and clubs will open up during the winter months.

The state governor also has his winter residence there, the Boa Vista Castle.

The city, due to its elevation, is relatively cold for Brazilian standards. In summer, maximum temperatures average 24°C/75ºF and minimum temperatures average 13°C/55ºF. In winter, maximum temperatures average 18°C/64ºF and minimum temperatures average 4°C/39ºF. Temperatures drop below zero sometimes in winter (lowest ever recorded: -7.3°C/19ºF), but snow is very rare. The winter is normally the dry season and the colder weather allows for warm fireplaces and winter foods such as fondue, soups and hot chocolate. In spring and summer, one can see Hydrangea macrophylla blossoming all over the town.

Despite of the high income of many visitors, the HDI (0.820 in 2004) of Campos do Jordão is not very high because the owners of the houses in the best neighbourhoods are not regular inhabitants; these houses are used only during the holidays. The city can be reached from São Paulo mainly by road through the Rodovia Floriano Rodrigues Pinheiro. There is also a picturesque railroad from Pindamonhangaba, used mostly by tourists. At the end of the main road going through Campos do Jordao, there is a state park called Horto Florestal.

Does this look like a flamethrower from Clone Wars...after about 10 people respond...I will decide weather or not to use it in a MOC...

We're busy doing nothing, working the whole day through,

trying to find lots of things not to do.

We're busy going nowhere, isn't it such a crime?

we'd like to be unhappy, but...

we never do have the time.

Pico, Pico Island, Azores, Portugal

State of the Vatican City, is a landlocked sovereign city-state whose territory consists of a walled enclave within the city of Rome, the capital city of Italy. It has an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres) (0.44 km2), and a population of just over 800.[5][12]

Vatican City is a city-state that came into existence in 1929. It is distinct from the Holy See, which dates back to early Christianity and is the main episcopal see of 1.147 billion Latin and Eastern Catholic adherents around the globe. Ordinances of Vatican City are published in Italian; official documents of the Holy See are issued mainly in Latin. The two entities even have distinct passports: the Holy See, not being a country, only issues diplomatic and service passports; the state of Vatican City issues normal passports. In both cases the passports issued are very few.

The Lateran Treaty in 1929, which brought the city-state into existence, spoke of it as a new creation (Preamble and Article III), not as a vestige of the much larger Papal States (756-1870) that had previously encompassed central Italy. Most of this territory was absorbed into the Kingdom of Italy in 1860, and the final portion, namely the city of Rome with a small area close to it, ten years later, in 1870.

Vatican City is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical state, ruled by the bishop of Rome—the Pope. The highest state functionaries are all Catholic clergymen of various nationalities. It is the sovereign territory of the Holy See (Sancta Sedes) and the location of the Pope's residence, referred to as the Apostolic Palace.

The Popes have resided in the area that in 1929 became Vatican City since the return from Avignon in 1377. Previously, they resided in the Lateran Palace on the Caelian Hill on the opposite side of Rome, which site Constantine gave to Pope Miltiades in 313. The signing of the agreements that established the new state took place in the latter building, giving rise to the name of Lateran Pacts, by which they are known.

The name "Vatican" is ancient and predates Christianity, coming from the Latin Mons Vaticanus, meaning Vatican Mount. The territory of Vatican City is part of the Mons Vaticanus, and of the adjacent former Vatican Fields where St. Peter's Basilica, the Apostolic Palace, the Sistine Chapel, and museums were built, along with various other buildings. The area was part of the Roman rione of Borgo until 1929. Being separated from the city, on the west bank of the Tiber river, the area was an outcrop of the city that was protected by being included within the walls of Leo IV (847–55), and later expanded by the current fortification walls, built under Paul III (1534–49), Pius IV (1559–65) and Urban VIII (1623–44). When the Lateran Treaty of 1929 that gave the state its present form was being prepared, the boundaries of the proposed territory were influenced by the fact that much of it was all but enclosed by this loop. For some tracts of the frontier, there was no wall, but the line of certain buildings supplied part of the boundary, and for a small part of the frontier a modern wall was constructed. The territory includes St. Peter's Square, distinguished from the territory of Italy only by a white line along the limit of the square, where it touches Piazza Pio XII. St. Peter's Square is reached through the Via della Conciliazione which runs from the Tiber River to St. Peter's. This grand approach was constructed by Benito Mussolini after the conclusion of the Lateran Treaty.

According to the Lateran Treaty, certain properties of the Holy See that are located in Italian territory, most notably Castel Gandolfo and the major basilicas, enjoy extraterritorial status similar to that of foreign embassies. These properties, scattered all over Rome and Italy, house essential offices and institutions necessary to the character and mission of the Holy See.

Castel Gandolfo and the named basilicas are patrolled internally by police agents of Vatican City State and not by Italian police. St. Peter's Square is ordinarily policed jointly by both.

 

In this originally uninhabited area (the ager vaticanus) on the opposite side of the Tiber from the city of Rome, Agrippina the Elder (14 BC – 18 October AD 33) drained the hill and environs and built her gardens in the early 1st century AD. Emperor Caligula (37-41) started construction of a circus (AD 40) that was later completed by Nero, the Circus Gaii et Neronis, usually called, simply, the Circus of Nero. The Vatican obelisk was originally taken by Caligula from Heliopolis, Egypt to decorate the spina of his circus and is thus its last visible remnant. This area became the site of martyrdom of many Christians after the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64. Ancient tradition holds that it was in this circus that Saint Peter was crucified upside down. Opposite the circus was a cemetery separated by the Via Cornelia. Funeral monuments and mausoleums and small tombs as well as altars to pagan gods of all kinds of polytheistic religions were constructed lasting until before the construction of the Constantinian Basilica of St. Peter's in the first half of the 4th century. Remains of this ancient necropolis were brought to light sporadically during renovations by various popes throughout the centuries increasing in frequency during the Renaissance until it was systematically excavated by orders of Pope Pius XII from 1939 to 1941.

In 326, the first church, the Constantinian basilica, was built over the site that early Roman Catholic apologists (from the first century on) as well as noted Italian archaeologists argue was the tomb of Saint Peter, buried in a common cemetery on the spot. From then on the area started to become more populated, but mostly only by dwelling houses connected with the activity of St. Peter's. A palace was constructed near the site of the basilica as early as the 5th century during the pontificate of Pope Symmachus (reigned 498–514)

Popes in their secular role gradually came to govern neighbouring regions and, through the Papal States, ruled a large portion of the Italian peninsula for more than a thousand years until the mid 19th century, when all of the territory of the Papal States was seized by the newly created Kingdom of Italy. For much of this time the Vatican was not the habitual residence of the Popes, but rather the Lateran Palace, and in recent centuries, the Quirinal Palace, while the residence from 1309–77 was at Avignon in France.

In 1870, the Pope's holdings were left in an uncertain situation when Rome itself was annexed by the Piedmont-led forces which had united the rest of Italy, after a nominal resistance by the papal forces. Between 1861 and 1929 the status of the Pope was referred to as the "Roman Question". They were undisturbed in their palace, and given certain recognitions by the Law of Guarantees, including the right to send and receive ambassadors. But they did not recognize the Italian king's right to rule in Rome, and they refused to leave the Vatican compound until the dispute was resolved in 1929. Other states continued to maintain international recognition of the Holy See as a sovereign entity. In practice Italy made no attempt to interfere with the Holy See within the Vatican walls. However, they confiscated church property in many other places, including, perhaps most notably, the Quirinal Palace, formerly the pope's official residence. Pope Pius IX (1846–78), the last ruler of the Papal States, claimed that after Rome was annexed he was a "Prisoner in the Vatican". This situation was resolved on 11 February 1929 between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Italy.

The treaty was signed by Benito Mussolini on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III and by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Gasparri for Pope Pius XI. The Lateran Treaty and the Concordat established the independent State of the Vatican City and granted Roman Catholicism special status in Italy. In 1984, a new concordat between the Holy See and Italy modified certain provisions of the earlier treaty, including the position of Roman Catholicism as the Italian state religion.

continuação de um trabalho em estúdio na faculdade com o tema splash

Età: 19 anni

Compleanno: 17 Aprile

Orientamento sessuale: Omosessuale (o per lo meno, ha amato solo un uomo in tutta la sua vita XD)

Ama: Ora come ora, nulla. (Sotto sotto, ama ancoa la musica. Ma non diciamogli che l'abbiamo scoperto)

Odia: Tutto. Se stesso in primis.

Vorrebbe: Riportare indietro le lancette del tempo.

Frase preferita: Non parla molto da un paio d'anni a questa parte...

  

Raffinato nobile austriaco di fine ottocento/inizi novecento divenuto scontroso e scostante (per non dire misantropo) in seguito ad un incidente in cui ha perso le uniche cose a cui teneva nella sua vita. Da secoli non varca il cancello della sua enorme abitazione in cui vi vive con la sola compagnia della servitù.

Appartenente ad una antica famiglia di musicisti, sin dall’infanzia venne considerato il perfetto erede del padre, viste le incredibili capacità al pianoforte.

Il primo incontro avuto da ragazzino con il cugino Mallarmé di poco piu’ piccolo di lui (Sarà un Msdoll Drayton), non sarà dei piu’ felici: quel do centrale suonato con insistenza dalle sue mani goffe ed incapaci di certo non era quanto di piu’ esaltante le sue orecchie potessero sentire! XD Mallarmé infatti è un violinista, ed in tutta la sua vita non si era mai avvicinato ad un pianoforte prima di allora.

La vicinanza ed il tempo trascorso insieme farà nascere ben presto tra i due cugini una passionale storia d’amore destinata ad essere consumata furtivamente tra le enormi stanze della sua immensa tenuta.

Dopo anni di amore clandestino mascherate da "lezioni di piano”, Mallarmé viene incastrato in un matrimonio combinato a cui Liszt non riuscirà ad opporsi; di certo, era impensabile l’idea di confessare pubblicamente i loro sentimenti. Non era solo una questione di diseredazione, ma una vergogna per l’intera casata. Tuttavia, Il giorno della festa di fidanzamento ufficiale di Mallarmé, Liszt, colto da un raptus irrefrenabile, si lancia con il suo cavallo contro la vettura con a bordo il cugino e la futura moglie. Ciò che la sua mente interpretava come un gesto eroico, in realtà, si è trasformato in una tragedia.

Liszt riporterà una grave lesione alla gamba e alla mano; Sarà da allora costretto per la sua vita a camminare con bastone da passeggio, ma sopratutto, la lesione alla mano non gli permetterà piu’ di suonare il pianoforte con la stessa maestria di una volta, per cui se ne terrà alla larga.

Per Mallarmé invece, i postumi dell’incidente saranno ben più gravi: La botta alla testa gli causerà delle forti crisi narcolettiche alternate a brevi momenti di veglia confusa; insomma, Liszt ha esperienziato cosa significa perdere tutto nel giro di un solo istante.

Il cugino passerà da allora le sue giornate a dormire rinchiuso in una remota stanza della tenuta, nascosto da tutto e da tutti (la famiglia ha voluto darlo per morto), mentre Liszt si rinchiuderà nell'oscurità dello stesso palazzo in compagnia unicamente della servitù (che a mala a pena conosce)

L'arrivo di Ewa(La mia Ange Ai Uri ^_^) , una bambina di strada polacca raccolta per pietà dalla governante che ha deciso di "assumerla" come servetta (aiuto domestico in cambio di vitto e alloggio), cambierà improvvisamente la sua situazione...specie quando verrà trovata di notte a suonare il do centrale con la stessa insistenza usata da Mallarmé, tanto e tanto tempo prima...

 

A margem do Rio Gêba

Grande parte da paisagem da Guiné-Bissau são absolutamente planas. Só na região perto da cidade de Bafatá há algumas montaninhas, que no entanto só alcançam a altura de aproximamente 25 metros.

Große Teile der Landschaft Guinea-Bissaus sind völlig eben. Es gibt kaum nennenswerte Erhebungen nur in der Gegend um die Stadt Bafatá, allerdings erreichen die Hügelchen dort auch nur höchstens 25 Meter „Gipelhöhe“

Am Freitag, den 8. Oktober sowie am 10. fanden Versammlungen aus dem Spektrum Querdenken statt. Am 8. war ein bzw. zwei Autokorsos und am 10. Oktober eine Demonstration durch die Innenstadt von Dortmund.

 

Michael Schele hatte die geniale* Idee, aus einem gleich zwei Autokorsos zu machen. Intention möglicherweise mehr Reichweite. Mit Logik klappt das nicht so gut bei ihm. Die Folge war das sich ca. 20 Fahrzeuge in zwei Korsos zu je 10 aufteilten. Toll! Den Start hatte ich mir angesehen, begleitet habe ich den Autostuss, so wie ich ihn nenne, nicht. (*Satire)

 

Spannender der Sonntag, die von mir erwartete Zahl von 50 Teilnehmer*innen wurde übertroffen. Es dürften so ca. 80 gewesen sein. Nach kurzer Startkundgebung ging es einmal um den Wallring. Unterbrochen wurde die Fahrt durch eine Zwischenkundgebung vor dem Fußballmuseum gegenüber dem Hauptbahnhof. Hier wurde den „Impfopfern“ gedacht, ja Sie lesen richtig.

 

Michael Schele bekam an der Stelle Stress mit der Polizei. Er fuhr seinen Wagen und sprach gleichzeitig während der Wegstrecke in das Mikro. Dieser beschwerte sich, dennoch musste er ab dem Zeitpunkt auf dem Rücksitz ij seinem Wagen Platz nehmen.

 

Die Runde ging dann noch zurück zum Hansaplatz, dem Startpunkt und wurde zügig beendet. Nicht ohne zuvor noch das Lied der Deutschen zum Besten zu geben. Gefolgt wurde diese von Kirmesmusik auf Schlagerniveau, passend zu seiner Sprechstimme.

 

Einziger für mich relevanter Vorfall geschah zu Beginn des Umzugs. Michael Schele sah, wie ich mir einen E-Scooter auslieh und brüllte „Korallenherz laufen würde dir gut tun und auch deiner Figur“ in sein Mikrofon. Das spiegelt sein Niveau bei allem, was er anfasst.

A Catedral de São Pedro de Alcântara localiza-se em Petrópolis, cidade serrana no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. É dedicada a São Pedro de Alcântara, padroeiro da cidade e da Monarquia Brasileira.

 

Originalmente, a Igreja Matriz de Petrópolis era um modesto edifício localizado em frente ao Palácio Imperial, mas a construção de uma nova Matriz já estava prevista, no lugar atual, no plano de urbanização de Petrópolis, datado de 1843, de autoria do Major Júlio Frederico Koeler.

Na década de 1870 volta-se a considerar a construção da nova igreja, graças ao interesse do Imperador D. Pedro II e sua filha, a Princesa Isabel. Em 1871 foi decidida oficialmente a construção de uma nova Matriz, que porém ainda demoraria a materializar-se. Em 1876 o arquiteto italiano Federico Roncetti apresentou um projeto em estilo neo-renascentista, que foi recusado.

 

O atual edifício da catedral começou a ser construído apenas em 1884. O projeto foi encomendado ao engenheiro e arquiteto baiano Francisco Caminhoá, que concebeu um edifício em estilo neo-gótico, muito em voga na época, inspirado especialmente nas antigas catedrais do norte da França. A obra ficou a cargo da empreiteira de Manuel Pereira Jerônimo, filho de uma das primeiras famílias a se instalarem na cidade, vindas da Ilha do Pico, nos Açores.

 

A construção da catedral não parou após a Proclamação da República e seguiu até 1901, quando as obras entram em um período de paralisação. Sob o comando do engenheiro Heitor da Silva Costa, a obra entra em uma segunda fase de atividade intensa em 1918. Finalmente, em 29 de novembro de 1925, é inaugurada a nova matriz de Petrópolis, após 37 anos de trabalhos. O edifício, porém, não estava terminado, faltando a fachada principal e a torre, além de muito da decoração interna. As obras da fachada só começaram em 1929 e chegaram até o nível da rosácea na década de 1930. A torre só seria construída entre 1960 e 1969.

 

Em 1920 foi anulado o decreto que bania a Família Imperial do Brasil, e já em 1921 os restos de D. Pedro II e D. Tereza Cristina foram trazidos do Mosteiro de São Vicente de Fora, em Lisboa, para o Rio de Janeiro, onde foram alojados na Catedral Metropolitana. Em 1925 os restos foram transferidos para a sacristia da catedral de Petrópolis. Finalmente, em 5 de dezembro de 1939, o presidente Getúlio Vargas e outras autoridades inauguraram o Mausoléu Imperial, para onde foi transferido definitivamente o sarcófago do Imperador e da Imperatriz. Em 1971 também foram sepultados no mausoléu a Princesa Isabel e seu marido, o Conde D'Eu.

 

A Catedral de Petrópolis é uma igreja neogótica de cruz latina com transepto pouco pronunciado e três naves. A cabeceira possui um deambulatório conectado com a capela principal. A catedral mede em total 70 metros de comprimento e 22 metros de largura, com uma altura de 19 metros nas naves.

 

A fachada principal da igreja tem um portal com múltiplas arquivoltas em forma de arcos apontados. No lugar do tímpano há um Calvário (Cristo Crucificado, a Virgem e José de Arimatéia), e na parte superior da fachada encontram-se estátuas dos quatro evangelistas (São Marcos, São Lucas, São João e São Mateus). Todas essas esculturas são de autoria de Adão Bordignon (c. 1935). A fachada contém também uma bela rosácea.

 

A torre, o elemento mais recente da igreja (década de 1960), se eleva a 70 metros do solo e contém um carrilhão de cinco sinos de bronze fundidos em Passau (Alemanha), pesando nove toneladas.

No interior, os espaços são divididos por arcos apontados tipicamente góticos. Do lado direito da entrada encontra-se o Mausoléu Imperial e do lado esquerdo o batistério, com a pia batismal da antiga matriz de Petrópolis (1848). O coro da igreja tem um altar-mor em pedra de lioz portuguesa. No deambulatório há uma enorme estátua do patrono da catedral e da monarquia, São Pedro de Alcântara, esculpida em mármore de Carrara pelo francês Jean Magrou (c. 1925). Os vitrais do deambulatório e da nave datam em sua maioria da década de 1930.

 

A catedral possui um importante órgão, fabricado no Rio de Janeiro e instalado em 1937 por Guilherme Berner.

  

Mausoléu imperial

 

O Mausoléu Imperial, uma capela localizada à direita da entrada, é um dos grandes atrativos históricos da catedral. No centro há um sarcófago duplo com os restos do Imperador D. Pedro II e da Imperatriz Tereza Cristina. O túmulo foi esculpido em mármore de Carrara cerca de 1925 pelo francês Jean Magrou, autor dos jacentes, e pelo brasileiro Hildegardo Leão Veloso, autor dos relevos das laterais. Os túmulos da Princesa Isabel e seu marido, o Conde D'Eu, foram esculpidos pelo brasileiro Humberto Cozzo. As janelas da capela tem vitrais coloridos com poemas escritos por D. Pedro II durante o exílio, em que o Imperador deixa transparecer a saudade que sentia do seu país natal. O altar da capela, esculpido em mármore e com uma cruz de granito da Tijuca, contém relíquias dos santos São Magno, Santa Aurélia e Santa Tecla, trazidas de Roma.

The Cathedral of Petrópolis or Cathedral of St. Peter of Alcantara is located in Petropolis, mountain town in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is dedicated to St. Peter of Alcantara, patron of the city and the Brazilian monarchy.Originally, the Church of Petrópolis was a modest building located opposite the Imperial Palace, but the construction of a new Matrix was already foreseen in the current place in the urban plan of Petropolis, dated 1843, authored by Major Júlio Frederico Koeler.In the 1870s back to consider the construction of the new church, thanks to the interest of the Emperor D. Pedro II and his daughter, Princess Isabel. In 1871 it was officially decided the construction of a new Matrix, but still it would take to materialize. In 1876 the Italian architect Federico Roncetti introduced a bill in neo-Renaissance, which was refused. The current building of the cathedral began to be built only in 1884. The project was commissioned to engineer and architect Francisco Caminhoá Bahia, who designed a building in neo-Gothic style, much in vogue, especially inspired by the ancient cathedrals of northern France. The work was borne by the contractor Manuel Pereira Jerome, son of one of the first families to settle in the city from the island of Pico in the Azores. Construction of the cathedral did not stop after the Proclamation of the Republic and continued until 1901, when the works enter into a period of paralysis. Under the command of the engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, the work enters a second phase of intense activity in 1918. Finally, on November 29, 1925, it inaugurated a new array of Petropolis, after 37 years of work. The building, however, was not complete, missing the main facade and tower, and much of the interior decoration. The works of the façade only started in 1929 and reached the level of rosacea in the 1930s. The tower would only be built between 1960 and 1969.In 1920 was annulled the decree that bans the Imperial Family of Brazil, and in 1921 the remains of D. D. Pedro II and Tereza Cristina were brought from the Monastery of São Vicente de Fora in Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, where they were housed in the Metropolitan Cathedral. In 1925 the remains were transferred to the sacristy of the Cathedral of Petrópolis. Finally, on December 5, 1939, President Getúlio Vargas and other authorities inaugurated the Imperial Mausoleum, where he is definitely the sarcophagus of the Emperor and Empress. In 1971 were also buried in the mausoleum of Princess Isabel and her husband, the Count D'Eu.The Cathedral of Petrópolis is a neo-Gothic church of a Latin cross with little pronounced transept and three ships. The headboard has an ambulatory connected to the main chapel. The cathedral measuring 70 meters in total length and 22 meters wide with a height of 19 meters in the aisles. The main facade of the church has a website with multiple archivolts in the form of pointed arches. In place of the eardrum is a Calvary (Christ crucified, the Virgin and Joseph of Arimathea), and at the top of the facade are statues of the four Evangelists (St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John and St. Matthew). All these sculptures are the work of Adam Bordignon (c. 1935). The facade also contains a beautiful rose. The tower, the most recent church (1960), at 70 meters above the ground and contains a peal of five bronze bells cast in Passau (Germany), weighing nine tons.Inside, the spaces are divided by pointed arches typically Gothic. The right of the entrance lies the Imperial Mausoleum and left the baptistery, with the font of the old array of Petrópolis (1848). The choir of the church has an altar in stone lioz Portuguese. In the ambulatory there is a huge statue of the patron saint of the cathedral and the monarchy, St. Peter of Alcantara, carved in Carrara marble by Frenchman Jean Magrou (c. 1925). The windows of the nave and the ambulatory dating mostly from the 1930s. The cathedral has an important organ, made in Rio de Janeiro in 1937 and installed by William Berner.Imperial MausoleumThe Imperial Mausoleum, a chapel located right at the entrance, is a major historical attractions of the cathedral. In the center is a double sarcophagus with the remains of Emperor D. Pedro II and Empress Teresa Cristina. The tomb was carved in Carrara marble around 1925 by Frenchman Jean Magrou, author of the prostrate, and the Brazilian Hildegardo Leão Veloso, author of the reliefs on the sides. The tombs of Princess Elizabeth and her husband, the Count D'Eu, were carved by Brazilian Humberto Cozzo. The windows of the chapel has stained glass windows with poems written by D. Peter II during his exile, when the Emperor betrays the longing he felt his home country. The chapel's altar, carved in marble and granite with a cross da Tijuca, contains relics of the saints are Magno, Aurelia and Santa Tecla, brought from Rome.
