Vista Alegre turns 200 July 2024
One of Portugal’s most famous brands, crockery maker Vista Alegre, will celebrate its bicentennial in July, Público reports. It’s a celebration not just for the company but the working neighbourhood that grew up around Portugal’s first porcelain factory. On a tour through the town near Aveiro, with a worker couple who started dating and fell in love in the town, the newspaper reports the brand’s 200-year history is also told by the streets and even a football club, where employees used to train two days a week before work. The 198-year-old local theatre company has developed a play, the content of which for now remains a tightly guarded secret, that alludes to this rich history and will be performed in July.
They are looking for people to participate in the celebration. Here’s a link.
