Pedro Aires Oliveira, President of the IHC, expressed his satisfaction with the recognition of IHC’s work quality this act represented and stated that he was sure of the added value that this collaboration could bring to the valorization of Abrantes’ rich heritage, a municipality where there’s also been a strategic investment in culture.
The document was signed by the mayor of Abrantes, Maria do Céu Albuquerque, Francisco Caramelo, director of NOVA FCSH, and Pedro Aires Oliveira, in the presence of a large audience, on the day that marked the 163rd anniversary of Eduardo Duarte Ferreira.
