From the first moments of his pontificate, as Rector of the Portuguese Pontifical College in Rome, I was attracted by the strength of this Pope and his symbolic gestures, by his missionary zeal, inherited from Paul, apostle of the Gentiles.

Careful studies were carried out in national and international museums and libraries, examining thousands of documents and hundreds of writings. The elements obtained brought novelties that allow us to base suggestions for the authorship of this splendid piece of silversmithery, which honors the city of Funchal, Madeira and the whole of Portugal. »
