Casa das Rosas
Luiz Carlos Leite
The firm Ramos de Azevedo designed Mansão das Rosas in 1930. This beautiful house, today a reference in the lives of paulistanos - the capital's inhabitants - was one of the last buildings built at Avenida Paulista during the wealthy coffee period. The building was listed by Condephaat on October 22, 1985. Casa das Rosas was reopened on September 19, 1995 to be a distinctive cultural place, equipped with computers and open to exhibitions. Today, it is primarily used for reading and research activities.
In December, 2004, the mansion was renamed Casa das Rosas - Espaço Haroldo de Campos de Poesia e Literatura. It is home to a collection of 35,000 books that belonged to the poet and translator Haroldo de Campos, and that now belongs to the city's inhabitants. Aside from the books, Haroldo's family also donated to Secretaria da Cultura (Department of Culture) the poet's office.
The library gathers rare books, such as the first autographed books by Octavio Paz and João Cabral de Melo Neto. Additionally, the library's shelves are home to a number of Haroldo's translations from English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Hebrew, Chinese and Japanese, aside from stretches of the Divine Comedy, on which he was working shortly before his death.
