<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 14.1pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: large;">«The
<i>fado </i>was born one day/ When hardly a
breeze was whispering/ And the sea merged into the sky/ In the tacking of a
sailing ship/ In the breast of a sailor-boy/ Who was singing in his melancholy»
– so goes the poem written by José Régio and sung by Amália Rodrigues. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 14.1pt;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The real
origins of Lisbon’s traditional song are probably much more recent than the era
of the Discoveries. There is no written record of the </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">fado</i><span style="font-size: x-large;"> before the 19</span><sup>th</sup><span style="font-size: x-large;"> century. Its melody, which is
thought to be the successor of the «lundum» danced by black slaves in Brazil,
follows a four-line stanza where each line has a 10-syllable count. But
aboveall, it reflects a state of spirit, sad and nostalgic, that Lisbon has
made its own. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 14.1pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: large;">During the 19<sup>th</sup> century, the<i> fado</i> (the song about fate) was sung all over Lisbon, from Calçada
de Carriche to the flat-bottomed boats of the River Tagus, through the taverns
of Bairro Alto and the narrow streets of Mouraria. The poignant plucking of
guitars was heard in Arco do Cego and in Madre de Deus, in Lumiar and in
Laranjeiras, in the <i>Quebra-Bilhas</i>
tavern and in the bullring at Campo de Santana. The<i> fado</i> was sung in markets, brothels and palaces.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 14.1pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>(continued on the book </i>Lisbon for the Cultivated Tourist,</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 14.1pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>by Marina Tavares Dias)</i></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 14.1pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 14.1pt;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQXIPXNODRjBag1K-6PdlzHlhv3lRA4LH01ayzcnMzn0449akYBvbLJYDRhEvviC8AnKE8doRO7OPOhq61Cow8MESD60Nu5T3myLXh_LTVVVvPGet1MwnKrtwWchzo_jm6snl2L75pUmIP6uycRzkozrxG2NdGogpTrIRVdPczLIKtCPkHRMmpY_Y/s565/alma.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="565" data-original-width="415" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQXIPXNODRjBag1K-6PdlzHlhv3lRA4LH01ayzcnMzn0449akYBvbLJYDRhEvviC8AnKE8doRO7OPOhq61Cow8MESD60Nu5T3myLXh_LTVVVvPGet1MwnKrtwWchzo_jm6snl2L75pUmIP6uycRzkozrxG2NdGogpTrIRVdPczLIKtCPkHRMmpY_Y/s320/alma.jpg" width="235" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><i><br /></i></span><p></p>Arquivo Marina Tavares Diashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14480661558534446128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975789942499488644.post-59267794305071647092022-06-12T09:18:00.000-07:002022-06-12T09:18:24.807-07:00Queen Stephanie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen Bragança<p> <span style="font-size: x-large;">The favourite chapter by the author</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><u><i>LOST LISBON</i></u></b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">is on the</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><u style="font-size: x-large;">7th volume</u><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">of this gigantic work.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Marina Tavares Dias</u></b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">dedicated a dense research, for more than 15 years, to the study of all documents related to Queen Stephanie of Portugal , always bearing in mind how different she was from all the other queens, from any time or country.

However, nothing was saved in the aftermath of the earthquake when the tsunami and the fire completed the damage. Under the orders of the Marquis of Pombal, Terreiro do Paço was rebuilt from 1758 onwards. Today it symbolises the post-earthquake era of downtown Lisbon, known as the Baixa. Shortly after being baptized with its new name, Praça do Comércio, it was given Lisbon's first statue of a king riding a horse (D. José I by the sculptor Machado de Castro).»</span></div></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Marina Tavares Dias</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">#LisboaDesaparecida </span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5LLCNUO_G-gi5Qrq-J93G745HoWxPComjs0EtMOnQgA8pduJzHlDkfKX_vGoLdmKBCgTvCO2SNuqFy7z6IQ6jcilMffgB4GUKwqduXY7fqwrNh5wwUuh22MXvu3MjgtG7NVQ67kDFM5RAVsfLqI9sl0nGpssrciIB7tXPA5VVO9W5x8RCpaBWop3J=s1082" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1082" data-original-width="691" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi5LLCNUO_G-gi5Qrq-J93G745HoWxPComjs0EtMOnQgA8pduJzHlDkfKX_vGoLdmKBCgTvCO2SNuqFy7z6IQ6jcilMffgB4GUKwqduXY7fqwrNh5wwUuh22MXvu3MjgtG7NVQ67kDFM5RAVsfLqI9sl0nGpssrciIB7tXPA5VVO9W5x8RCpaBWop3J=s320" width="204" /></a></div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>Arquivo Marina Tavares Diashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14480661558534446128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975789942499488644.post-56143960087474926902021-12-24T14:11:00.005-08:002022-06-12T09:21:58.157-07:00Own part of our Magic Lisbon<p><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">The most c</span><span style="font-family: times;">ompre</span><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;">hensive personal archives about Lisbon, Portugal, History (original negatives, photographs and thousands of objects) now give you a chance to own a piece of their fascination.

Rossio is also Praça Dom Pedro IV, butno-one calls it that; Terreiro do Paço is «officially» Praça do Comércio; Campo de Santana «became» Campo dos Mártires da Pátria. Across the decades or even centuries, some of the place names in Lisbon were changed, but the Lisbonese didn’t go along with it and continued to use the original designations. As my grandfather used to say, that’s how you can tell who’s from Lisbon and who’s not. People from outside Lisbon use the name Praça do Comércio instead of Terreiro do Paço, and the same applies to Rossio, Campo de Santana and other places”.</h3><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhEZdXoot54Y4CBLQvhmjfxL86-r29U7OOOespWYBLJQ66IXDc2q4glt36Uq3SfsBuv1FIP71gIstsj6gKv_RXmYrT2ysIjsL6UqY5QG7SJNV-Qc78xKSklLvc6d3K3qPmwMpeBZ4AFOV564F1c_-iRbcC5YBr57q73X_DjhIiq46aCvjxzL2Fj_QsE=s875" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="608" data-original-width="875" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhEZdXoot54Y4CBLQvhmjfxL86-r29U7OOOespWYBLJQ66IXDc2q4glt36Uq3SfsBuv1FIP71gIstsj6gKv_RXmYrT2ysIjsL6UqY5QG7SJNV-Qc78xKSklLvc6d3K3qPmwMpeBZ4AFOV564F1c_-iRbcC5YBr57q73X_DjhIiq46aCvjxzL2Fj_QsE=w496-h344" width="496" /></a></div><br /><div> ROSSIO IN YHE 1960’S </div>Arquivo Marina Tavares Diashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14480661558534446128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8975789942499488644.post-71372583832346461362020-12-29T18:06:00.000-08:002020-12-29T18:06:10.148-08:00Queen Stephanie of Portugal in London (1858)<p> </p><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="background-color: #2e1021; color: #ffeedd; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 30px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative;"><a href="https://lostlisbonportugal.blogspot.com/2014/04/queen-stephanie-of-portugal-in-london.html" style="color: #ff8866; text-decoration-line: none;">QUEEN STEPHANIE OF PORTUGAL IN LONDON</a></h3><div><br /></div><div class="post-header" style="background-color: #2e1021; color: #aa9988; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12.88px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><div class="post-header-line-1"></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6994332616260487804" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: #2e1021; color: #ffeedd; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.524px; line-height: 1.5; position: relative; width: 568px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4nz9GpnQM7u3n8zppj4k6Hc7-te5rplYRtBaUC0HvFk3FDTPmDcHEmpRiTDgKAoKmcIB6bf4-6v9tJw3EdeSMkrnTVKtiUaa9h5biYnsK-3Sb_t6H_cWdBb9lmZxKupjGtajjSBJ2-M/s1600/titled-1FD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #ff8866; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4nz9GpnQM7u3n8zppj4k6Hc7-te5rplYRtBaUC0HvFk3FDTPmDcHEmpRiTDgKAoKmcIB6bf4-6v9tJw3EdeSMkrnTVKtiUaa9h5biYnsK-3Sb_t6H_cWdBb9lmZxKupjGtajjSBJ2-M/s1600/titled-1FD.jpg" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: none; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>From the newsparpers of 1858:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">«The Queen of Portugal arrived at Buckingham Palace yesterday [May 6] afternoon upon a visit to Her Majesty the Queen [Victoria].

</i><br /> <br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">From the era of the Discoveries, the Baixa – or downtown Lisbon (situated between Rossio and the present location of Praça do Comércio) has boasted of all kinds of shops. Before the 1755 earthquake, the area was considerably different from what it is nowadays: it had a maze of winding, narrow streets with countless dead-ends. However, the main street was already the Rua Nova dos Mercadores (New Mercant Street). When being drawn up by the Marquis of Pombal's engineers after the earthquake, the new downtown area respected local, centuries-old tradition. The new streets, a lot wider now, were named according to the kind of trade going on there: Rua do Ouro (for the goldsmiths); Rua da Prata (for the silversmiths); Rua dos Douradores (Gilders Street); Rua dos Correeiros (Leather Merchants Street); Rua dos Franqueiros (Cutlery Merchants Street), etc.</span><div>

But what life! What luxury! What stories to tell! It was the great meeting place of <b>Romantic</b> period. It was there that attentive citizens of Lisbon were able to sound out the latest fashions and the most recent political news. It was there that literary groups were founded; it was there, at the most prestigious <b>theatres</b>, that booing and foot-stamping sessions were organised and many a reputation destroyed in a flash. In <b>1840</b>, there were <b>cafés</b> in front of whose doors the humble folk would dare not to pass. A few decades later during Lisbon's <i><b>Belle Époque</b></i>, Chiado was chosen as the first home of the large department stores. The <b>Grandes Armazéns do Chiado</b> and a little further down, the <b>Grandella </b>department store were the most famous but both were destroyed in the great fire that swept through <b>Rua do Carmo</b>, <b>Rua Nova do Almada</b>, <b>Rua do Crucifixo</b> and <b>Rua Garrett</b> in <b>1988</b>.</span><div>

<span style="font-size: large;">by MARINA TAVARES DIAS:<br /><br /><br />For many centuries, generation upon generation of Lisbon dwellers lived almost exclusively on products sold in the streets. Innumerable peddlers populated the streets all over the city, hawking all the wares needed in daily life: water, milk, fish, fruit, vegetables, cured sausages, olive oil, paraffin, coal, shirts, caps and scarves, shoes, knives, vases, chairs or lampshades. Broad beans were sold in a stew with gravy (called «fava-rica»); apart from being knife-grinders, tinkers also mended umbrellas; boys whittled toothpicks while girls made flowers to decorate hats. Each product had a different cry or call announcing it and many of them were sung. Some of them became famous, like the cry of the fishwives singing out «Viva da Costa!» – «Alive from the Coast!», or the call of the newpaper kids: «Século-Nooootícias!».</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">(<i><b>LISBOA DESAPARECIDA</b></i>, volume I):<br /><br />«Until the 1950s, the traditional quarter called Mouraria was very much larger that what it is today. Many of its streets and historical buildings were demolished at a time during which it was believed that areas housing the common folk were both lacking in interest and very unhealthy. In the western part of Mouraria, only the Hermitage called Nossa Senhora da Saúde (built in 1705) was left standing. The Socorro Church and the Alegrete Palace were demolished between 1949 and 1951. The old Apollo Theatre disappeared in 1956. Even the last archway of the old walls built during King Fernando's reign was knocked down at the start of the 1960s. Decades passed without the Lisbon City Council knowing how to mend the gaping wound left in city's historical centre. Reconstruction work was only completed a few months ago on the area known today as Praça Martim Moniz (a square named in honour of the hero who had won Lisbon for the Christians). The solution to the problem lay in providing ample pedestrian walks and a network of fountains where once, long ago, houses had been. [,,,]»</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>«He who has not seen the Feira da Ladra even once has no idea how much vitality death has!» – so wrote Júlio de Castilho. The Flea Market is as old as the conquest of Lisbon itself and its name «Feira da Ladra» appeared for the first time in a municipal ordinance of 1610. But the market still held today (every Tuesday and Saturday) at Campo de Santa Clara has only been held since 1882. Before that, it was situated at Campo Santana, in a square called Praça da Alegria and near St. George’s Castle. </i></b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><br />The famous curse cast on the Santa Engrácia Church lasted four long centuries. It was once said by an unfortunate man condemned to die while protesting his innocence that he would be avenged and the work going on at the time to build the church would never be done. At long last, the dome was finally finished (with the use of concrete) during the 1960’s. Before this date, all photographs of the church showed its incomplete state. </i></b></span><div>

It was a swampy piece of ground forking off into two riverbeds that had long-since dried up. During the Iron Age, these two small tributaries of the River Tagus ran along courses that were later to become the two first avenues in Lisbon, Avenida da Liberdade and Avenida Almirante Reis. </i></span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The broad valley where they converged was to become Rossio. Curiously enough, the sound of underground running water may still be heard in the cellars of the D. Maria II Theatre. The whole of northern Rossio’s area lies on the confluence of rivers. This has always been held responsible for all kinds of disasters happening there. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Fire destroyed the National Theatre (1964) and the S. Domingos Church (1959) and before them, fire also gutted the Inquisitional Palace along with the tragic records stored in there. One such record has to do a famous playwright known as «The Jew» who, after being imprisoned in Rossio, was burned at the stake in Terreiro do Paço (the Royal Palace Grounds) in 1739. Some say the confluence of rivers is answerable for many of the Inquisition’s tragedies. [...]</i></span></div>

It recalls how Lisbon is the natural depart for the other side of the Atlantic and the rest of the world.<br />
When, later, France herself was occupied by the nazi regime, hundreds of thousands of Europeans escaped through this «golden light city», where they were welcome and secure. Lisbonne, «Europe's harbour» between nightmare and safety.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One of the soldiers had left the tank to make a call from the phone booth (the public telephone was the only option in those days, and still safer than any cellphone). The poster calls for an «evolution without revolution». But the future was already on the march.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />In 1800, the number of emigrants from Galicia, Northern Spain, residing in Portugal was already close to 80,000. </span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Throughout the next one hundred years, selling water in barrels, they were to be found everywhere: between Rossio and the arcades in Praça do Comércio, between the Ministry buildings and the quaysides, at the doors of the large department stores, on street corners downtown and specially in Chiado, where there used to be a square known as the «Ilha dos Galegos» – «Galician Island». </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 1830 about 3,454 water-sellers crossed the Lisbon streets daily. But the Galicians also had other trades, such as taking messages, delivering parcels or helping to move house. Two Galicians and a rope, so the saying goes, were capable of moving almost an entire sitting-room full of furniture in one go. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Another saying had it that love without a Galician was indeed love without feet. What would have become of lovers without a messenger for their love-letters at a time when all affairs of the heart had to be protected from paternal wrath?</span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">PORTUGAL'S CLASSIC BOOKSHOPS </span></b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>THAT DISAPEAR </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>WITHOUT ANY REGARD </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>FOR THEIR VALUE </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>OR FOR THEIR HISTORY</b></span></span></h4>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This was number 17 of one of Lisbon's most important boulevards: Avenida Almirante Reis.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Founded in 1910 as a corset store; it was transformed in an old and cozy bookstore in the 1970's, with valuable and rare books occupying the same furniture that had not been altered since the very beginning. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The tiles you see on the floor are not sold anymore: they were manufactured to absorb water easily and to keep the store warm during the winter. The shelves were unique, made in a Rua dos Anjos carpenter who was very keen on art-nouveau styles. The ceiling had floral combinations and the back office was all made of oak.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, came «the crisis era». Who is going to care about some classical store when there is not even a Ministry of Culture anymore? Who is going to stop a business of growing at any (non-specifically-financial) cost? - No-one.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The store was all broken and now is a convenience store with beer, potatoes, gas bottles, batteries and cheap clothing. Its interiors? - Gone with the Wind. Like the title of a book I once bought here, in a precious first edition.</span><br />

January of 1859, Estefânia (Stephanie) and Pedro are so accostumed to sharing every detail of everyday life that a simple separation of three days is immense. They write letters to each other and the Queen confesses her fears about his health. In the return, they can't stop " kissing again and again and again", as the Queen writes,
concluding that they could never again live without one another. </span></span><br />
