| Shrnutí: | The "Os Candangos", monument by Bruno Giorgi, is a symbol of Brasilia, printed on the shirts of tourists. It inspired advertisements and poetic compositions like the Alvodada Symphony and it became immediately one of the symbols of the capital, along with the columns of the Palácio da Alvorada and the two domes with the twin towers of the Congress. By "interrogating" the statue, the article investigates his meaning and speaks about the complexity of the capital's construction. We start by watching the evolution of the word "candango" and the process that removed the first name of the Bruno Giorgi's work: "Warriors"; then, "conversing" with its author's memories and with the initial idea of placing the sculpture in front of the Government Palace, we try to understand its original message. Finally, we analyse the sculpture's composition, the reference works and those suggested, and we describe the difficulties of investigating the identity of the workers who built Brasilia. |
