Come and discover the object of the month and find out more about our history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this special month in which we celebrate the 265th anniversary of Real Companhia Velha, we selected as the object of month a small portrait of Marquis of Pombal. Iconic figure of our national history, he also played a prominent role in the establishment of the Company in 1756. Sebasti\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 de Carvalho e Melo is spotlighted throughout the permanent exhibition at the Museum of the Oldest Appellation in the World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the mid-eighteenth century he took over the Secretariat of the Realm, while occupying this top position in national politics, he carried out important reforms, both in the economic and political field, as well as in the social and religious life of the country. Regarding Port wine, the Marquis of Pombal set the foundations that led to the territorial and commercial development of the Alto Douro Wine Region, making it the first demarcated and regulated wine region in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9649a0d9 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<p><strong>Author<br><\/strong>Drawing by C.
