Illustrious Bravense Benvindo Leitão donates copies of his work to local culture
Nova Sintra, February 6, 2024 (Bravanews) - Last week, the Municipal Library "Rodrigo Peres" and the Casa Museu "Eugenio Tavares" had the honor of receiving a generous donation from the renowned Bravense scholar, writer and author, Benvindo O Piglet. The illustrious son of Brava presented both institutions with two copies of his most recent work, "Antologia das Mornas da Brava".
The President of the Municipal Chamber Francisco Tavares, who presided over the event, expressed his deep gratitude for Benvindo Leitao's significant contribution to the preservation and promotion of Brava culture. The work offered stands out as yet another testament to the author's commitment to the island's rich musical tradition.
The specimen destined for the "Eugenio Tavares" House Museum will certainly join the space's valuable collection, enriching knowledge about the history and cultural expressions of Brava. At the "Rodrigo Peres" Municipal Library, the work will be available to the entire community, providing easy access to content that promotes local cultural identity.

This donation not only enriches the collection of local institutions, but also reinforces the importance of collaboration between Brava's talented children and entities dedicated to preserving the island's cultural richness. The local community celebrates the generosity of Benvindo O. Leitão and eagerly awaits more valuable contributions that promote Brava culture.
