The celebrations of 200 years of independence in Brazil will be marked by the presence of the heart of Dom Pedro I. At the request of the Brazilian government, the Portuguese government will lend the relic, which will be transported from the city of Porto, in Portugal, to Brazil. The transport will be done in an FAB plane, which has not yet disclosed which aircraft will carry out the mission. Travel expenses will be paid by the Brazilian government.
The transport mission was one of the topics discussed between the Air Force commander, Carlos de Almeida Baptista Junior, and the Minister of International Relations, Carlos Alberto Franco França, in Brasília last Friday, 12.
The announcement was made by Rui Moreira, the mayor of Porto. The travel date has not yet been set. However, the transport is being very well thought out, since it is a fragile material.
The heart is preserved in formaldehyde, protected by five keys, in the church of Lapa, in the city of Porto, in Portugal. The Emperor's body is kept in the Independence Park, in the Ipiranga Museum Complex, in São Paulo.
The heart of Dom Pedro I will be on display, for public viewing, from August 23 to September 8, at the Itamaraty Palace, in Brasília.
