Dear 2nd Grade Children,
Today I went to Mineir oã
Stadium in Belo Horizonte.
Belo Horizonte means
Beautiful Horizon . They also“ ”
call it Beaga. There are
many colonial towns and the
people are very generous and
friendly. I enjoyed flying over
the mountains of Minas Gerais.
After the match I went to a
well known landmark called;
Church of Sao Francisco de
Assis. I sent you a picture. I
will write again soon.
Love, Red
3. Belo Horizonte is a city that brings people
together and is known and loved for its
generous hospitality, passion for football,
rich culture and the sleek curves of its
Brazilian modernist architecture set
against the backdrop of the mountains of
Minas Gerais.
One of Belo Horizonte’s most well-known
landmarks is the Church of São Francisco
de Assis, considered to be the
masterpiece of Pampulha, a district in
Belo Horizonte which is home to the
Mineirão stadium, one of Brazil’s football
icons.
Our poster depicts the silhouette of the
Church of São Francisco de Assis, which is
brought to life by the overlapping
pentagons which define the ball’s shape.
It portrays the balance of nature and art
and the celebratory welcome that
athletes and football lovers all over the
world will receive when they come to Belo
Horizonte.
