Quando escrevo sobre um edif\u00edcio, interessa-me mais a sua import\u00e2ncia hist\u00f3rica e simb\u00f3lica para a cidade em que se insere do que propriamente o seu estilo arquitect\u00f3nico, ou, diria mesmo, a sua est\u00e9tica. Por isso, quando nomeio os meus edif\u00edcios preferidos na cidade do Porto, sou comumente coroada com olhares de espanto. E um desses edif\u00edcios \u00e9, precisamente, aquele que foi considerado o primeiro arranha c\u00e9us do Porto!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contado ningu\u00e9m acredita. Mas aquele edif\u00edcio cinzento que pede discretamente licen\u00e7a para existir ao lado do grandioso Teatro Rivoli, na Pra\u00e7a D. Jo\u00e3o I, causou um grande furor aquando da sua inaugura\u00e7\u00e3o. Afinal, do alto dos seus oito andares, era o edif\u00edcio mais alto do Porto<\/a> (e de Portugal) em 1944!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para al\u00e9m desta espantosa classifica\u00e7\u00e3o, o edif\u00edcio Rialto – assim era o seu nome -, albergou um dos caf\u00e9 mais emblem\u00e1ticos do Porto: o Caf\u00e9 Rialto. Um dos caf\u00e9s que, juntamente com os famosos caf\u00e9s Guarany, Majestic<\/a>, e tantos outros, marcaram o s\u00e9culo XX no Porto.
O Caf\u00e9 Rialto foi arquitectado em 1944, tendo-se tornado um ponto de paragem obrigat\u00f3ria para a elite intelectual e estudantil da \u00e9poca, sendo um dos poucos caf\u00e9s onde podiam manifestar o seu descontentamento perante a ditadura de Ant\u00f3nio Salazar e, em geral, a paisagem social e econ\u00f3mica dessa altura. No Caf\u00e9 Rialto reuniam-se igualmente vultos das \u00e1reas da advocacia, engenharia, medicina, jornalismo etc., dada a proximidade ao Ateneu Comercial e \u00e0 Associa\u00e7\u00e3o dos Jornalistas e Homens de Letras, duas institui\u00e7\u00f5es de grande actividade cultural e pol\u00edtica de oposi\u00e7\u00e3o a Salazar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Para al\u00e9m disso, o Caf\u00e9 Rialto apresentava algumas “extravag\u00e2ncias” bastante inovadoras nos idos anos 40. Deixo-vos aqui uma cita\u00e7\u00e3o, retirado do Jornal O S\u00e9culo, que escrevia a 28 de Novembro de 1944: “O \u00abcaf\u00e9\u00bb, com ar condicionado, tem capacidade para 130 mesas e a cozinha, completamente electrificada, possue, e pela primeira vez em Portugal, aparelhagem para esteriliza\u00e7\u00e3o de ch\u00e1venas, capaz de esterilizar 600 em quinze minutos”.<\/i>
Infelizmente, o Caf\u00e9 Rialto foi encerrado antes que o pudesse visitar, em 1972, tendo-se tornado num balc\u00e3o do Banco Millennium. No entanto, e para g\u00e1udio do meu olhar quotidiano, podemos espreitar duas recorda\u00e7\u00f5es do Caf\u00e9 Rialto, que ainda l\u00e1 est\u00e3o.\"mural1\"<\/a>\"detalhe\"<\/a>Uma consiste num desenho-mural a carv\u00e3o, da autoria do Arquitecto Abel Salazar, em que, a tra\u00e7o vigoroso, est\u00e1 simbolizado o esfor\u00e7o da Humanidade ao longo do tempo.
\"mural\"<\/a> \"muralporm\"<\/a>A outra consiste numa parede coberta com tr\u00eas pinturas murais, onde era o antigo sal\u00e3o inferior do Caf\u00e9 Rialto e onde existe hoje o Clube Millennium.  A central, da autoria do pintor Guilherme Camarinha , e as laterais, do mestre da Escola de Belas Artes desta cidade, Dordio Gomes.
Ah, mem\u00f3rias de tempo passado, p\u00e9rolas deste presente distra\u00eddo! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
