Yesterday, the 25th of May, the Chair of Luso-Brazilian History and Culture took place at the Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa, with the intervention of Professor José Amado Mendes.
During the event the main theme was the development of the state of Minas Gerais, one of the most powerful in Brazil with the discovery of multiple gold and diamond mines, from which the respective name derived. Mining, metallurgy, agriculture and tourism constitute its main sources of income. The artistic complexes of Congonhas, Inhotim and Pampulha (Belo Horizonte) are also plenty of reasons, as factors of knowledge and delight for researchers, tourists and the general public.
