O Convento primitivo foi construído em 1585, com projeto do frei Francisco dos Santos, sendo o primeiro estabelecimento franciscano do Brasil. É formado por um conjunto que inclui a Igreja de Nossa Senhora das Neves, a Capela de São Roque (a mais antiga Capela da Ordem Terceira Secular existente no país), a Capela de Santana, revestida com painéis de azulejos e o claustro (com 16 painéis de azulejos portugueses que retratam a vida e a morte de Francisco de Assis) e a sacristia.
Nesses conjuntos, chama a atenção o rico trabalho de talha em madeira do teto, com caixotões contendo pinturas do século XVIII. Sua capela-mor conventual é parte da primeira igreja primitiva, projetada antes do incêndio causado pelos holandeses em 1631. Atualmente, a igreja apresenta elementos arquitetônicos raramente utilizados na região, como a galilé e a arcada, originários das igrejas de três naves.
Completa o conjunto arquitetônico, em frente ao convento, um grande cruzeiro trabalhado em pedras retiradas dos arrecifes. Por fim, um corredor ladeado de painéis profanos (com cenas do cotidiano da corte) conduz a sacristia, revestidas de azulejos, com mobília de jacarandá trabalhado e forro com mosaico de pinturas sacras. Em 1831, foi instalada no local a primeira biblioteca pública de Pernambuco.

The Primitive Convent was built in 1585, with the project of Francisco dos Santos, being the first Franciscan establishment in Brazil. It is formed by a group that includes the Church of Nossa Senhora das Neves, the Chapel of São Roque (the oldest Chapel of the Third Order Secular in the country), the Chapel of Santana, covered with tiles and the cloister (with 16 panels of Portuguese tiles depicting the life and death of Francis of Assisi) and the sacristy.
In these ensembles, the rich work of carving in wood of the ceiling, with coffins containing paintings of the XVIII century, draws attention. Its convent main chapel is part of the first primitive church, designed before the fire caused by the Dutch in 1631. Currently, the church features architectonic elements rarely used in the region, such as galilee and arcade, originating in the churches of three naves.
It completes the architectural complex, in front of the convent, a great cruise worked on stones removed from the reefs. Finally, a corridor lined with profane panels (with scenes from the daily routine of the court) leads the sacristy, tiled, with worked jacaranda furniture and mosaic lining of sacred paintings. In 1831, the first public library of Pernambuco was installed.

PENHA, Uma Festa Carioca (Penha, a carioca party, 2014)
Sinopse: O tempo das festas foi corroído pelo novo modo de viver e consumir. A saudade (quase uma melancolia) busca o componente lúdico perdido. “Penha, uma festa carioca” retrata a maior festa religiosa do Rio de Janeiro e a segunda mais popular, perdendo apenas para o Carnaval. Entre seus mitos e suas histórias, de quase 400 anos: a fé católica, a capoeira africana, os folguedos portugueses e o berço da Música Popular Brasileira.
New ways of living and new forms of entertainment have caused the gradual disappearance of the neighborhood festivals of the old days. A sense of longing (or a somewhat melancholic nostalgia) makes us seek the lost pleasures of the past. “Penha, uma festa carioca” is a look back at what was once the second largest popular festival in Rio de Janeiro, losing out only to the Carnaval. Among the myths and stories surrounding the event, which occurred over a period of almost 400 years, we consider the Catholic faith, the African martial-arts-styled dance called capoeira, the festive Portuguese immigrants, and the birth of Brazilian Popular Music.

SUMMARY
=======
São Paulo (; Portuguese pronunciation: [sɐ̃w̃ ˈpawlu] (listen)) is a municipality in the Southeast Region of Brazil. The metropolis is an alpha global city (as listed by the GaWC) and the most populous city in Brazil, the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, besides being the largest Portuguese-speaking city in the world. The municipality is also the Earth's 11th largest city proper by population. The city is the capital of the surrounding state of São Paulo, one of the most populous and wealthiest states in Brazil. It exerts strong international influences in commerce, finance, arts and entertainment. The name of the city honors the Apostle, Saint Paul of Tarsus. The city's metropolitan area, the Greater São Paulo, ranks as the most populous in Brazil and the 12th most populous on Earth. The process of conurbation between the metropolitan areas located around the Greater São Paulo (Campinas, Santos, Sorocaba and the Paraíba Valley) created the São Paulo Macrometropolis, a megalopolis with more than 30 million inhabitants, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.Having the largest economy by GDP in Latin America and the Southern Hemisphere, the city is home to the São Paulo Stock Exchange. Paulista Avenue is the economic core of São Paulo. The city has the 11th largest GDP in the world, representing alone 10.7% of all Brazilian GDP and 36% of the production of goods and services in the state of São Paulo, being home to 63% of established multinationals in Brazil, and has been responsible for 28% of the national scientific production in 2005. With a GDP of US$477 billion, the São Paulo city alone would have ranked 26th globally compared with countries by 2017 estimates.The metropolis is also home to several of the tallest skyscrapers in Brazil, including the Mirante do Vale, Edifício Itália, Banespa, North Tower and many others. The city has cultural, economic and political influence both nationally and internationally. It is home to monuments, parks and museums such as the Latin American Memorial, the Ibirapuera Park, Museum of Ipiranga, São Paulo Museum of Art, and the Museum of the Portuguese Language. The city holds events like the São Paulo Jazz Festival, São Paulo Art Biennial, the Brazilian Grand Prix, São Paulo Fashion Week and the ATP Brasil Open. The São Paulo Gay Pride Parade rivals the New York City Pride March as the largest gay pride parade in the world. It is headquarters of the Brazilian television networks Band, Gazeta, and RecordTV.
São Paulo is a cosmopolitan, melting pot city, home to the largest Arab, Italian, and Japanese diasporas, with examples including ethnic neighborhoods of Mercado, Bixiga, and Liberdade respectively. São Paulo is also home to the largest Jewish population in Brazil, with about 75,000 Jews. In 2016, inhabitants of the city were native to over 200 different countries. People from the city are known as paulistanos, while paulistas designates anyone from the state, including the paulistanos. The city's Latin motto, which it has shared with the battleship and the aircraft carrier named after it, is Non ducor, duco, which translates as I am not led, I lead. The city, which is also colloquially known as Sampa or Terra da Garoa (Land of Drizzle), is known for its unreliable weather, the size of its helicopter fleet, its architecture, gastronomy, severe traffic congestion and skyscrapers. São Paulo was one of the host cities of the 1950 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Additionally, the city hosted the IV Pan American Games and the São Paulo Indy 300.
