After presiding over the Scientific Council of the National Commission for the Commemoration of the Portuguese Discoveries, Joaquim Romero Magalhães held the position of Commissioner-General from February 1999 to November 2002. He focused his attention on the 500th anniversary of Pedro Álvares Cabral's voyage to Brazil. This text recalls some of the main aspects of those celebrations and presents a personal view on events and circumstances that have yet to be made public.

Keywords : Brazil; Commemoration; Cultural Diplomacy; Discoveries; Letter of Pêro Vaz de Caminha.
