The Regional Directorate for Communities, in partnership with FaiAlentejo, promotes the release of the work “Vulcão dos Capelinhos – Testemunhos” (Capelinhos Volcano – Testimonials) which will take place at the auditorium of the Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Centre on the island Faial tomorrow at 6:30 PM.
This work contains peculiar, but valid facts that portray an event that deeply affected the Azores and their people.
With this event, the Regional Directorate for Communities aims to immortalise one the most significant phenomena of Azorean emigration. After 53 years, some of those who departed have returned; others continue their journey of nostalgia, year after year.
During the release of the work, Professor Victor Hugo Forjaz will present a paper on the eruption of the Capelinhos Volcano.
