Once again, thanks to our faithful friend Paranaguá, we have some fine photos of Thursday’s book launch at the Historic and Geographic Institute of Bahia.  With the support of the Italian Institute of Culture in Rio de Janeiro, the ICBIE was able to organize this high profile cultural event, recognizing a work by our friend Riccardo Fontana that reveals yet another Italian who had an important role in Brazilian history:  Giovan Vincenzo Sanfelice, Conde de Bagnoli defensor da Bahia.
