“Pina Germano” exhibition open until January 2024
Through letters, documents and photographs, the exhibition “Pina Germano” – which remains at the Almeida Garrett Municipal Library until January 2024 – portrays the friendship between Manuel António Pina and Germano Silva, a storyteller from the city that brought them together.
Based on memoirs, epistles, photographs and other documents, it presents the great story of friendship, love and correspondence in Porto today: the story that connected (and still does) the poet and journalist Manuel António Pina (disappeared in 2012) to fellow journalist and local historian, Germano Silva.
