  • Diogo Alves head preserved in formalin. Since its foundation, the city of Lisbon had problems with the supply of drinking water to the population. In order to solve this problem, in 1731 King John V begins the contruction of the long-touted "Aguas Livres Aqueduct" wich has its construction completed in 1748, from this moment Lisbon would have 3 times more water than previously available.<br />
The aqueduct extends over 14,174 meters and consists of 127 arches along its route. Of all the arches, the most known is the one in the valley of Alcantara, the Arco Grande, is 65 meters high and is the largest pointed arch in the world.<br />
The other reason that made the Aqueduct famous is to have been the stage of nineteenth century's most famous serial killer in Portugal, Diogo Alves. Born in Spain, came to live in Lisbon at a very early age, known as the "Assassino do Aqueduto das Aguas Livres" or also "Pancadas". Diogo Alves is thought to have robbed and thrown from the Arco Grande area more than seventy people. No one ever found out how he got the key to enter the aqueduct and commit the crimes.<br />
Diogo Alves was convicted and hanged in 1841. His head was stored in formalin at the time so that medicine could studie his and be able to characterize the mind of a criminal.<br />
In 1911 is presented to the public the film "Os crimes de Diogo Alves" the first Portuguese fictional film. 15/01/2012 NO SALES IN PORTUGAL

  • The top of the Aguas Livres aqueduct in valle de Alcantara arches. Since its foundation, the city of Lisbon had problems with the supply of drinking water to the population. In order to solve this problem, in 1731 King John V begins the contruction of the long-touted "Aguas Livres Aqueduct" wich has its construction completed in 1748, from this moment Lisbon would have 3 times more water than previously available.<br />
The aqueduct extends over 14,174 meters and consists of 127 arches along its route. Of all the arches, the most known is the one in the valley of Alcantara, the Arco Grande, is 65 meters high and is the largest pointed arch in the world.<br />
The other reason that made the Aqueduct famous is to have been the stage of nineteenth century's most famous serial killer in Portugal, Diogo Alves. Born in Spain, came to live in Lisbon at a very early age, known as the "Assassino do Aqueduto das Aguas Livres" or also "Pancadas". Diogo Alves is thought to have robbed and thrown from the Arco Grande area more than seventy people. No one ever found out how he got the key to enter the aqueduct and commit the crimes.<br />
Diogo Alves was convicted and hanged in 1841. His head was stored in formalin at the time so that medicine could studie his and be able to characterize the mind of a criminal.<br />
In 1911 is presented to the public the film "Os crimes de Diogo Alves," the first Portuguese fictional film. 15/01/2012 NO SALES IN PORTUGAL

  • Athens, Greece - An immigrant brings his newborn baby suffering from bronchiolitis in the medical centre of Medecins Du Monde, an NGO which helps immigrants and Greek people who don't have medical insurance. He will be later told they can't help him, as they don't have the possibility to cure babies under 6 months. In Greece, the deep recession due to the Austerity Measures imposed by the Troika (European Union, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund) coincided with the worsening in life conditions of both the native population and the immigrant one. The latter had to face not only an enormous increase of poverty and unemployment -often leading to homelessness- but also the rise in popularity of Golden Dawn, an ultranationalist party which got 18 seats in Parliament after June 2012 election. G.D. propaganda and actions are all based on racism and hate towards the foreign communities, blamed to be one of the main causes of the crisis.<br />

Before becoming an NGO worker, Issufo has also been a prisoner in the maximum-security jail of Maputo. In 2001 the first wife of Issufo dies for a haemorrhage and he is suddenly charged of murder and immediately gaoled. During the confinement, Issufo made friendship with a priest working in the jail that, once he listened Issufo’s story and beliving Issufo was innocent, start to help Issufo and push the authority to perform an autopsy to the death wife. The autopsy reveals that the woman was died for natural causes but also reveal she was HIV positive. After 1 year and 8 months of jail (and always without a trial) Issufo was released and he started working for the NGO “Comunitá di Sant’Egidio” in the “DREAM” project with the aim to help the HIV positive convicted.

  • Athens, Greece - An immigrant without insurance receives free Health medication in the offices of Medecins du Monde. In Greece, the deep recession due to the Austerity Measures imposed by the Troika (European Union, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund) coincided with the worsening in life conditions of both the native population and the immigrant one. The latter had to face not only an enormous increase of poverty and unemployment -often leading to homelessness- but also the rise in popularity of Golden Dawn, an ultranationalist party which got 18 seats in Parliament after June 2012 election. G.D. propaganda and actions are all based on racism and hate towards the foreign communities, blamed to be one of the main causes of the crisis.<br />
