•  DECEMBER'S DISCOVERIES 

    We made a research on the fotos and newspapers about M Pastinha and his trip to Rio and Porto Alegre. We showed that this trip took place in 1959 and most of the fotos are from the terrace of Hotel Glória.

    Another find was that M Cobrinha Verde was born in 1908 and not in 1910 as was thought before. The sources are the interview from 1982 where he said he was 74 years old and the book by M Mal where M Cobrinha mentions he was 22 during the 1930 revolution in Brazil.

    We also showed the supposed paths of M Besouro who was taken to hospital when knifed in 1924 and the approximate place where Besouro and Caetano José Diogo had a fight.
