Gilberto Freyre Foundation
At the scheduled time, we will meet at the Gilberto Freyre Foundation to begin our exploration of the former home of this renowned Brazilian writer and sociologist.
Gilberto de Mello Freyre resided in this house for over 40 years. The building, which dates back to the 19th century, was originally known as the Villa Santo Antonio de Apipucos.
It has been transformed into a house-museum housing numerous items that belonged to the author of The Master and the Slaves, as we discuss the book’s influence on Brazilian society while navigating the different rooms and gardens, which contain over 100 native species.
We will uncover the author's passions and tastes through the house's decorations, which feature catholic images, African artifacts, English silverware, eastern pottery, and Portuguese tiles.
The guided tour will last approximately 50 minutes to 1 hour, concluding our exploration of the Gilberto Freyre Foundation.
