Description

No centro do mais belo postal de Mondim de Basto (o conjunto arquitectónico que engloba a Casa do Eirô, o portão de armas e a capela de Santa Quitéria, tendo como pano de fundo a magnificência do Monte de Nossa Senhora da Graça) ergue-se uma singular e encantadora estátua iluminada. É uma escultura francesa, que nos chegou do Brasil, extremamente semelhante à estátua da Liberdade americana (coincidência?) e que, provavelmente, retrata uma antiga deusa do médio oriente . Trata-se da estátua da Primavera que o senhor comendador Alfredo da Graça Pinto Coelho descobriu em Paris e por quem se apaixonou. Comprou-a, levou-a para Recife e depois rumou a Mondim de Basto onde a erigiu no dia 1 de Dezembro de 1932, oferecendo-a, em conjunto com o antigo jardim da Praça, ao município Mondinense. Simbolizará a deusa Semíramis, a deusa Astarte, ou a deusa Columba, representadas na estátua de Nova Iorque e na apresentação cinematográfica da Columbia Films que nos habituámos a ver pelos ecrãs dos cinemas. Para nós, representa a beleza e o encanto das mulheres de Basto, que Camilo Castelo Branco cantou especificando os pormenores de cada concelho e afirmando que eram as mulheres de Mondim que ostentavam os olhos mais sedutores. E o homem sabia da poda!!!
