The city of Salvador, the capital of the state of Bahia (in the 18th century the capital of the vice-reign of Brazil) contains diverse monuments of baroque style; the church of the convent of San Francis of Assisi is its most extraordinary example. This amazing Franciscan temple and convent located in the Terreiro de Jesus, mixes a sober and grandiose architecture with the refined blue and golden tile decorations and the protuberant golden and polychrome ornamental carving that features the glorious reign of dom Joao V in Portugal. Sculptor end researcher Mozart Alberto Bonazzi Da Costa presents a study of the "archaeology of past trades that should be conserved" (p. 17). In a first section the author reviews the historical aspects, the carving techniques and instruments used, the different styles and the aesthetic and symbolic aspects of the decorative carvings and in a second part includes a detailed analysis of the Church (the central nave, the pulpits, chancel, etc.) and the ornamental Repertory.
