Museum of Angra do Heroísmo
The Item of the Month highlights a Neapolitan-style mandolin, made in Lisbon in 1783 by João Vieira. It features mother-of-pearl inlays and is decorated with acanthus leaves and shell motifs. This type of solo instrument, which performs the soprano voice, was one of the favorites of the bourgeoisie during the 17th and 19th centuries. The piece is part of the Musical Instruments Management Unit.
