Talk:Itaqui

Lost in Translation
It would appear that we need to go back to the source articles and retranslate most of the information in the article, since most of it makes little sense in English. I will try and start working on that myself, but if anybody else would like to help, let me know and we can divide up the work.VBlack 19:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Itaqui’s slogan: The Portal of Rio Grande originated at a first moment from the theory of the Central Corridor, elaborated by the writer, composer and folklorist Barbosa Lessa and, later, after some analyses and debates by studious and researchers of the Itaquiense’s community, was adopted as the slogan that makes the differentiation and the characterization of the city of Itaqui.

The use of slogans must be faced as a prominent differential on the front to other cities, where they search to stand out historical aspects, some special culture or peculiarities of the place.

In Itaqui’s slogan, the emphasis is on the historical aspect, a reference to the XVth Century Priest Roque González de Santa Cruz, (the first Paraguayan Saint, canonized in Asunción in May 16, 1988).

With the goal of extending its dominions to the shores of High Uruguay River or Braz.= Rio Uruguai, the governor of the Province of Río de la Plata, Don Francisco de Céspedes, granted a determination so that the Jesuit Priest Roque González, from the Society of Jesus (Societas Iesu (S.I. or S.J.) in Latin), penetrated in the current territory of the Rio Grande do Sul, to religious conversion of the Indians and establishing Jesuits Reductions or Christian-Indian city-states.

In the year of 1626, through the right border of the Ibicuí River (on the pertaining territory to the city of Itaqui) affluent of the Uruguay River, the Priest Roque fulfilled the received determination, establishing the Reduction of Candelária of Ibicuí (pertaining territory to the city of São Francisco de Assis) and, giving continuity to its intentions, other Reductions had been established: Saint Thomé (Jaguari), Saint José (Saint Vicente), among others.

Traveling by means of transporting faster at that time, the course of Ibicuí River, the religious obtained his socially objectives, making religious conversions of the Indians, organizing them in Reductions, being politically subordinated to the Spanish Crown, through the Governor of the Province of the Río de la Plata, and economically structuralized, to effect transactions with other Reductions and negotiations with Montevideo and Buenos Aires.

Therefore, the Itaqui’s slogan: The Portal of Rio Grande is widely based, and historically proven, since its territory served as door of entrance for the beginning of the "contact of our land with the Occidental civilization". (Barbosa Lessa).

The Portal of Rio Grande, served as the entrance door for the first populations of gauchos and contributed, together with other factors, to transform the State of Rio Grande do Sul into a power capable to fight for its objectives and ideals, becoming a fighting, human and just people in the construction of the Gaúcho State.

Historic Date: In 25 september, 1865, the Emperor D. Pedro II (Peter II of Brazil) visits Itaqui, the cortege traveling through Uruguay River.

I'm not sure what this image has to do with Itaqui, regardless of the caption.

Also not sure what this has to do with Itaqui.

Removed a picture of a Malaysian paddy field, since a picture of a field in malaysia clearly has nothing to do with this town in Brasilia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.243.238 (talk) 07:01, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

The privileged location of the city of Itaqui, at the border with Argentina and very close to the border with Uruguay, possessing at the time regular river transport on the Uruguay River and the Río de la Plata, placed the city of Itaqui in constant contact with Buenos Aires and Montevideo and through the ports of these cities, with other important capital cities of Europe. This commercial interchange raised the cultural level of the city at that time, including the construction of the Theater, the cornerstone of which was laid in 1883, which became a historical landmark, and the most shining period of the cultural life of one of the oldest theaters of Brazil.
