Santa Tereza's viaduct was designed to be a symbol of modern urban ideas and it’s one of the most important work of urban engineering in Minas Gerais.The Viaduct was an important urban reference for the generations of writers and artists over the time. In the Sixties, with the huge and uncontrolled urbanization of the city and the progressive impoverishment of the city center, became the image of urban space segregation, unexploited by the citizens because dangerous.It's just recently that this área, as a consequence of a regeneration urban process supported by the citizens themself, especially few social movement and youngers, became again an important urban landmark linked with culture and music production in the city.Every week underneath the Viaduct a urban music competition takes place, joining people from different social background.
Municipal park in Belo Horizonte is a symbol of urban democracy.It was planned and conceived before the foundation of the city itself to keep part of the original brazilian forest into the city of Belo Horizonte as a park. After the urbanization, it was reduced to a quarter part of its original project but still nowaday it's one of the few green and public spaces into a city of 2 million of inhabitants. Here everybody can rest far from cars, noise, and the urban heat, homeless people as well. In addition to be a haven for the ecosystem and natural resources is also an architectural and cultural interest área with an ancient Theatre, playground and the cultural center ‘Palacio das Artes’ of the brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
Liberty Square (Praça da Liberdade) today it's a recognized democratic symbol from the people of the city.Belo Horizonte was inaugurated 8 years after the founding of the Republic and the square, symbol of the Republic Power, was conceived in the the highest place of the city center, overlooking the landscape unlike the historical colonial towns where are the churches that prevailed in the landscape. (like Ouro Preto, colonial Portuguese towns and first capital of Minas Gerais state). Moreover the square has not only an historical meaning but it's also a charming place, syntheses of different architectural styles, where the gardens, avenues and monuments’ facada were inspired by french architecture. With few cultural spaces and free activities such as exposition, theater, library and others, the square has a cultural, social, political meaning recognized by all the citizens.

I was born in Paris and my girlfriend sent me this picture a few minutes ago and she said : „My love, I would like to take a picture with you like this“. She owns this monument in her room since her childhood and it's her deep dream. At that moment, I immediately saw that we commonly agree this „thing“ as a symbology. It's a matter of eternal love ❤️
