Piratini Palace
Hi guys!!
I'm sharing the Piratini Palace (Brasil).
I decorated some of the rooms just for reference.
This palace is intended to be a summer residence, divided in a reception/ghonor rooms in the front and the residencial part on the back.
House's history:
The Piratini Palace (Portuguese: Palácio Piratini) is the current seat of the Executive Branch of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. It is located at Marechal Deodoro Square, also known as the Mother Church Square, in Porto Alegre's historic center. The Piratini Palace has been the official residence of thirty-eight governors.
Piratini was built to replace the old Palácio de Barro (English: Clay Palace), which existed on the same site and had been built in 1773 by order of then governor José Marcelino de Figueiredo. By the end of the 19th century, the original building was in very bad condition, making it necessary to build a new one, which happened by order of the state president Júlio de Castilhos.[1]
The first project for the new palace was designed by architect Affonso Hebert, from the Secretariat of Public Works, and the first cornerstone was laid on October 27, 1896. However, the pace of the work was slow and constantly decreasing, until, with the structure still unfinished, the works were suspended by the new state president, Carlos Barbosa Gonçalves, alleging that the construction did not meet the requirements of the time. The Secretary of Public Works at the time, Cândido José de Godoy, seems to have had an influential role in choosing a richer project that would make the Piratini "the most beautiful and majestic public building in Brazil".[2] To this end, the government sent a delegation to Paris in 1908 to hold an international competition for a new floor plant to replace Hebert's.[3]
The contest attracted only two participants: A. Agustín Rey and A. Janin. Even though they were praised, their designs were also not used. A year later, French architect Maurice Gras came to Rio Grande do Sul and was introduced to President Carlos Barbosa by French diplomatic representatives in Brazil.[4] He presented a new proposal, which was approved, and on September 20, 1909, the second cornerstone of the palace was laid. The work restarted quickly, but when Barbosa left the government in January 1913, much remained to be done. For many reasons, the works proceeded slowly, only being accelerated in the early 1920s, during the fourth administration of Borges de Medeiros.[1][5]
On May 16, 1921, the building could be occupied, but without an official inauguration and in a partial way, because the residential wings, the noble halls and the gardens were not finished.[3] It was not until the 1970s that the palace was reported as completed, although minor work continued to be done and restoration interventions were already beginning to be needed in some older areas.[1]
In 1955, through a decree issued by governor Ildo Meneghetti, the official name of the Piratini Palace was given, as a way to honor the first capital of the Riograndense Republic (1836-1845) during the Farroupilha Revolution (1835-1845).
