Casa da Passarella
The mystery of the box found within one of the walls of Casa da Passarella is finally solved. The story begins in 1942 when a box is walled up in one of the rooms of Casa da Passarella by its former owners, containing a handwritten document with instructions to be opened 50 years later.
In the document, signed by a set of emblematic characters of the time, there was also a last wish: that all the values kept in the box be distributed to the poor. The fact is that neither of these two things happened. Only in 2010, when the House underwent renovations, the box was found and opened. And there was nothing inside.
Investigations progressed, without ever unraveling the mystery. When it seemed that resignation was winning over persistence, a specialist in the unusual was called to the scene: “the box was indeed full” – explained Professor K. Noronha – “but not of tangible, material things. The box was impregnated with an extraordinary essence that, reacting with the future times, would bring happiness through wine to all those who made art and profit from it. Now, these future times are already part of the present. And this is a double discovery” – he concluded.
