Antifascita! "Musicians are queuing up to show support to the Hamburg football club thanks to its politically engaged fans and entrenched activist ethos Hamburg’s FC St Pauli occupies a distinctive position in world football. A bastion of leftwing activism and DIY arts, its supporters, particularly the legendary “Ultras”, are one of the western world’s most politically and culturally engaged fanbases, and the club is particularly beloved of punk and underground music fans. “St Pauli is unlike any other club,” says Tim McIlrath, frontman of American melodic hardcore band, Rise Against. “We went to their stadium, and to see ‘No Football for Fascists’ painted across the stand, to see them encouraging more girls playing football – it’s fascinating. I was looking for a club that transcends sport – St Pauli is a model of that.” ... Away from the pitch, the Millerntor-Stadion and the surrounding area play host to a number of non-footballing events, including a workshop at which representatives of each team detail their concerns about the far-right in their homelands. DJs pump hardcore punk, ska, dub and electro through a soundsystem overlooking the pitch, and on Saturday evening, we’re treated to sets from Italian punks Bull Brigade, Connecticut rapper Ceschi Ramos, and Stuttgart ska band No Sports. ... To further add to the team’s punk credentials, their recent off-season American tour included a stop-off in Detroit for a Rise Against show. They’re far from the only band in thrall to St Pauli. Acts from Norwegian metal band Turbonegro and London indie group Art Brut to Icelandic post-rockers Sigur Rós and New Jersey rock outfit the Gaslight Anthem are vocally supportive. “They were one of the first clubs to not allow racists in, and they’ve been pretty left [wing], and punk rock,” Gaslight guitarist Alex Rosamilia has said. Punk and metal bars across Europe and North America are plastered with FCSP stickers and memorabilia; the team walk out to the strains of AC/DC every home game. There’s a sense of urgency in many artists’s statements about FCSP. “To stand for ideals together with FCSP is a big honour for us,” says Dema, frontman of Italian ska-punks Talco. “Especially to spread antifascist and antiracist views in a society in which the important and real things are brought out of focus.” Rise Against’s McIlrath adds: “Sport can provide sanctuary to a lot of rightwing motivations and hooliganism – FCSP taking a proactive stand against that is exciting.” And as one middle-aged Ultra tells me, FCSP supporters’ musical interests go beyond punk and metal. In the 1980s and 90s, many Ultras eschewed “cheesy German punk” for dub and reggae. His sentiment still holds – many of the younger supporters have little to do with rock and are active in Hamburg’s DIY techno, house and Afrobeat scenes. It’s increasingly rare to see a subculture blossom to this extent, certainly in the middle of a major western European city. Yet it’s writ large across Hamburg, even away from its nucleus in St Pauli. One factor may be the German government’s fiscal attitude to culture: as Arts Council England’s year-on-year budget reduction since 2010 continues with a further cut of £156m by 2022, German culture minister Monika Grütters has proposed an increase to national arts funding of €302m (£256m) a year. ... Nevertheless, a subculture on this scale, encompassing music, sport and politics, feels refreshing in 2018, particularly given the grassroots work that FCSP does for refugee and antifascist causes. Without this subculture, those good deeds may go undone; without comparable subcultures, who knows what else we’d lose? As Göttlich says, “If a musician is not working closely with his fans, the musician will disappear. A fan community is something to nurture. Our fans don’t always do everything right, but they are what make St Pauli special.”

Inside the Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

"The Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading (Portuguese: Real Gabinete Português de Leitura) is a library and lusophone cultural institution, is located in Luís de Camões Street, number 30, in the center of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is listed by the State Institute of Cultural Heritage. Elected the fourth most beautiful library in the world by Time magazine, the Cabinet has the largest collection of Portuguese literature outside Portugal. History The institution was founded in 1837 by a group of forty-three Portuguese immigrants, political refugees, to promote culture among the Portuguese community in the then capital of the Empire of Brazil. It was the first association of this community in the city.[1] The building of the current headquarters, designed by the Portuguese architect Rafael da Silva e Castro, was erected between 1880 and 1887 in Neo-Manueline style. This architectural style evokes the exuberant Gothic-Renaissance style in force at the time of the Portuguese discoveries, named Manueline in Portugal for having coincided with the reign of King Manuel (1495–1521).[2] The Emperor Pedro II (1831–1889) laid the cornerstone of the building on 10 June 1880, and his daughter, Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil, together with her husband, the Prince Gaston, Count of Eu, inaugurated it on 10 September 1887. Architecture The façade, inspired by the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, was worked by Germano José Salle in lisbon stone in Lisbon and brought by ship to Rio. The four statues that adorn it portray respectively Pedro Álvares Cabral, Luís de Camões, Infante D. Henrique and Vasco da Gama. The medallions of the facade portray, respectively, the writers Fernão Lopes, Gil Vicente, Alexandre Herculano and Almeida Garrett. The interior also follows the Neo-Manueliene style on the covers, wooden bookcases for books and memorials. The ceiling of the Reading Room has a beautiful chandelier and a skylight in iron structure, the first example of this type of architecture in Brazil. The hall also has a beautiful monument of silver, ivory and marble (the Altar of the Homeland), of 1.7 meters of height, that celebrates the time of the discoveries, realized in the Casa Reis & Filhos in Porto by the goldsmith António Maria Ribeiro, and acquired in 1923 by the Royal Cabinet. Public and works Open to the public since 1900, the library of the Royal Cabinet has the largest collection of Portuguese works outside Portugal. Among the 350,000 volumes, both national and foreign, are rare works such as a copy of the "princeps" edition of Os Lusíadas of Camões (1572), the Ordinations of D. Manuel (1521), the Capitolos de Cortes and Leys (1539), Verdadeira informaçam das terras do Preste Joam, segundo vio e escreveo ho padre Francisco Alvarez (1540), a manuscript of the comedy "Tu, só tu, puro amor" by Machado de Assis, and many others. Every year, it receives about six thousand titles from Portugal. There is also an important collection of paintings by José Malhoa, Carlos Reis, Oswaldo Teixeira, Eduardo Malta and Henrique Medina. Every day, it receives, on average, one hundred and fifty visitors. Among its illustrious visitors, from the past, are the names of Machado de Assis, Olavo Bilac and João do Rio.[citation needed] The Royal Cabinet publishes the magazine Convergência Lusíada (semester) and promotes courses on Literature, Portuguese Language, History, Anthropology and Arts, destined mainly for university students. The history of the Brazilian Academy of Letters is linked to that of the Royal Cabinet, since the first five solemn sessions of the academy, under the presidency of Machado de Assis, were held here." - ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Portuguese_Cabinet_of_Reading #riodejaneiro #brazil #portugal

"One of the most imposing and beautiful buildings in Rio de Janeiro, Theatro Municipal, inaugurated on July 14, 1909, is considered the main venue in Brazil and one of the most important in South America. Its history blends with the trajectory of the country's culture. Over just over a century of existence, the Theater has received the greatest international artists, as well as the main Brazilian names in dance, music and opera.

The idea of ​​a national theater with a state-owned artistic company had existed since the mid-nineteenth century and had João Caetano (1808-1863), an enthusiast of Brazilian theater, as well as a businessman and actor of great merit, one of its strongest supporters. The project, however, only began to gain consistency at the end of that century, with the commitment of our illustrious playwright Arthur Azevedo (1855-1908). Azevedo's tireless fight was fought in the pages of newspapers and ended up bringing results. Regrettably, however, he did not live long enough to see his dream come true, dying nine months before its opening date.

Mayor Pereira Passos – whose urban reform initiated in 1902 radically changed the appearance of downtown Rio de Janeiro – took up the idea and, on October 15, 1903, opened a public competition to choose the architectural project. When the registration deadline ended, in March 1904, seven proposals were received. The first two places were tied: the project called Aquila, in which the “secret” author would be the engineer Francisco de Oliveira Passos, son of the mayor, and the Isadora project, by the French architect Albert Guilbert, vice-president of the Association of French Architects .

The result of the competition caused a strong controversy in the City Council, accompanied by the main newspapers of the time, around the true authorship of the Aquila project, suspected of having been prepared by the architecture section of the City Hall, and the supposed favoritism of Oliveira Passos. The final project was the result of merging the two winners, since both corresponded to the same typology, inspired by the Paris Opera.

After the changes, the building began to be erected on January 2, 1905, with the placement of the first of the 1,180 hardwood stakes on which it is seated. On May 20 of that year the cornerstone was laid.

Some of the most illustrious and renowned artists of the time were invited to participate in the decoration, such as Eliseu Visconti, Rodolfo Amoedo and the Bernardelli brothers. European craftsmen were also recruited to create stained glass and mosaics. Work began at an accelerated pace, with 280 workers taking turns in two shifts. In just over a year, it was already possible to visualize the sumptuousness combined with the elegance and beauty of the construction of the future theater.

The Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro, with capacity for 1,739 spectators, was inaugurated by President Nilo Peçanha and Mayor Sousa Aguiar on July 14, 1909, four and a half years after the works began.

In the beginning, the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro received, mainly, opera and dance companies coming mostly from Italy and France. From the 1930s onwards, it began to have its own artistic bodies: Symphony Orchestra, Choir and Ballet, which remain responsible for the official artistic seasons until today.

Since its inauguration, Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro has had four major renovations: 1934, 1975, 1996 and 2008. The first of them increased the capacity of the room to 2,205 seats and, despite the complexity of the work, it was carried out in three months – currently , the Theater has 2,252 seats. In 1975, restoration and modernization works were carried out and, in the same year, the Technical Production Center was created. In 1996, construction began on the Annex building with rehearsal rooms for the Choir, Symphony Orchestra and Ballet. The renovation started in 2008 and completed in 2010 focused on restoring and modernizing the facilities.

Currently, with 113 years of service to national culture, the Municipal Theater of Rio de Janeiro remains one of the main venues in the country. " - https://theatromunicipal-rj-gov-br.translate.goog/apresentacao/?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=pt&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Inside the Cathedral of São Sebastião in Rio de Janeiro, Walking Tour

"The history of the Cathedral, from the foundation stone, to the present day

The Cathedral of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro, also known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro, is a Catholic cathedral located in the center of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

It was inaugurated in 1979, replacing, as the city's cathedral, the Church of Nossa Senhora do Carmo.

Created in 1676 by the bull of Pope Innocent XI, the Diocese, and later the Archdiocese of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro, never had its own Cathedral, it always had to use borrowed churches. In the first 58 years of its history, it was installed in the small church that governor Salvador de Sá had made of adobes and tiles, with three naves, on Morro do Castelo, and which was demolished in 1922, when the dismantling of the hill was completed. .

In 1734, the Cathedral was transferred from Morro do Castelo to the church of Santa Cruz dos Militares, where it remained for only three years. It then moved to the church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário and São Benedito dos Homens Pretos, and stayed there until the arrival of the Royal Family, in 1808, when the Prince Regent of Portugal, Dom João VI, made the church Nossa Senhora do Carmo , in Praça XV, his Royal Chapel, soon elevated, by him too, to the category of Cathedral.

On the 20th day of November 1976, Cardinal Archbishop Dom Eugenio de Araujo Sales appointed the tireless entrepreneur of the construction of the new Cathedral Monsignor Ivo Antonio Calliari as Curate of the Cathedral of São Sebastião and, on December 28, 1983, he appointed him Parish Priest of the Parish of the Cathedral of São Sebastião.

On the 2nd of July 1980, His Holiness Pope John Paul II, on his first visit to Brazil, presided over a solemn ceremony with the Bishops of CELAM, which celebrated its silver jubilee. And, on October 4, 1997, His Holiness presided over a solemn Mass, concelebrated by more than 500 bishops from all over the world and more than 1,000 priests, an occasion in which 5,000 people participated and thousands watched, from all parts of the world, via television, on the occasion of the "II World Meeting of the Pope with Families", definitively consolidating it as a landmark of modern and bold, imposing and functional architecture, distinguished by its noble simplicity.

In the year in which he celebrated 30 years at the head of the Archdiocese, the Most Eminent Cardinal Dom Eugenio de Araujo Sales became Archbishop Emeritus and the Ceremony of the Beginning of Mission of the new Archbishop of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro, Dom Eusébio Oscar Scheid, gave on September 22, 2001, in this Cathedral.

In 2009, Cardinal Scheid became Archbishop Emeritus and the new Archbishop Dom Orani João Tempesta, appointed by the Supreme Pontiff Benedict XVI, began the Mission as Archbishop of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro, on the Sunday of the Octave of Easter and the Feast of Misericórdia, on April 19, 2009, in a solemn Eucharistic celebration, in this Cathedral of Saint Sebastian, when the episcopal coat of arms was introduced on the Chair, whose motto is: SO THAT ALL MAY BE ONE. Civil, military and religious authorities and thousands of faithful welcomed Dom Orani Tempesta and wished him a blessed shepherding." -
