The wealthy family environment, with a close circle of friends that included artists such as Veloso Salgado or the architect Miguel Ventura Terra, provided him with an upbringing that included a strong cultural and artistic aspect.<\/p>\n<p>When he finished school, Ant\u00f3nio de Medeiros e Almeida began his studies in medicine, following in the footsteps of his father. However, intent on de\u00adveloping his enterprising spirit and his appetite for business, he dropped out of university and travelled to Berlin, where he came into contact with the international business world.<\/p>\n<p>Back in Lisbon, he got married, on 23 June 1924, to Margarida Pinto Basto, a descendant on his maternal side of the Counts of Pombeiro and on his paternal side of the family that owned the Vista Alegre Porcelain Factory. Given Ant\u00f3nio\u2019s passion for cars, they set off on their honeymoon in a racing car, a Farman Sport Torpedo.<\/p>\n<p>It is precisely his love for cars that gave rise to Medeiros e Almeida&#8217;s first professional project as an importer of Morris, Wolseley, Riley and MG cars to Portugal, and the opening of the A.M. Almeida car dealership in Lisbon.<\/p>\n<p>Medeiros e Almeida also took an interest in other pioneering business areas in Portugal, such as commercial aviation, in which he played an important role. In 1948, he acquired all the share capital of one of the first Portuguese airlines providing regular services, Aero Portuguesa, which he later merged into TAP \u2013 Transportes A\u00e9reos Portugueses. He was also one of the founders of SATA \u2013 Sociedade A\u00e7oreana de Transportes A\u00e9reos.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, he maintains several commercial activities in the Azores, where his parents were from, including his share in Uni\u00e3o das F\u00e1bricas A\u00e7oreanas de \u00c1lcool (UFAA), which was quite influential in the production of Azorean industrial alcohol and sugar, produced from sugar beet molasses. In 1967, he founded the agro-industrial company SINAGA \u2013 Sociedade de Ind\u00fastrias Agr\u00edcolas A\u00e7oreanas and chaired its board of directors until his death.<\/p>\n<p>As the Medeiros e Almeida family had friendly and professional relations with the Bensa\u00fade family, also of Azorean origin, the threat of a German invasion led Vasco Elias Bensa\u00fade, of Jewish descent, to offer Ant\u00f3nio de Medeiros e Almeida a partnership in 1941, which involved the temporary transfer of all the family\u2019s companies.\u00a0 At the end of World War II, the share was returned to the Bensa\u00fade family in full.<\/p>\n<p>Medeiros e Almeida also made a name for himself in other areas, such as textiles, with the Torres Novas National Weaving Company, or the hotel business, with its participation in the construction of the Hotel Ritz, in Lisbon, and the Hotel Alvor, in the Algarve.<\/p>\n<p>His well-developed social sense led him to make commit\u00adments to several charitable causes, such as supporting the establishment of Universidade Cat\u00f3lica, the children\u2019s summer camp \u201cO S\u00e9culo\u201d, and the creation of the Salazar Foundation, whose objective was to build social housing.<\/p>\n<p>His prolific and respected commercial, industrial and charitable activities were widely recognised through the awarding of a number of national and international honorary decorations, such as that offered by King George VI of England for providing the necessary assistance to the allied forces during World War II through the companies he ran in the Azores<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"bodyText parbase\">\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"height: 22px;\" width=\"856\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-medium-font-size\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery interval=&#8221;3&#8243; images=&#8221;8898,8900,8904&#8243; show_image_description=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1708540863681{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"item-copy\">\n<div class=\"bodyText parbase\">\n<div class=\"item-copy\">\n<p><strong>The Medeiros e Almeida Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The collection of the Medeiros e Almeida Museum &#8211; which includes furniture, painting, sculpture, textiles, goldsmithing, ceramics, sacred art, jewellery, watches, &#8230;, dating from the 2nd century BC to the 20th century CE &#8211; was built over the years, in line with Medeiros e Almeida\u2019s sophisticated upbringing and experience and a very successful professional life. He himself wrote, \u201cWhen I was 20, in 1915, I started becoming interested in antiques, and I started collecting them when I was 30 and when my funds allowed. This interest grew and developed and, little by little, I started collecting rare pieces of artistic and historical value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the period after World War II, with an art market rich in opportunities, the collector, with sound financial means and a more refined taste and knowledge, began buying from the best antique shops and auction houses in Europe. In the late 1960s, aware of the important collection he had gathered and having no descendants, Medeiros e Almeida looked for a solution that would not disperse the collection and idealized the transformation of his house into a museum where it could be integrated. From then on, his purchases continued at a fast pace, until his death in 1986.<\/p>\n<p>The Medeiros e Almeida Museum displays the collection that the collector gathered for around half a century, a vast and important group of works of art, of international artistic and historic relevance, whose typologies fall within the thematic field of the so-called decorative arts. The museum opens its doors to the public on 1 June 2001, thus fulfilling the aims of its founder: \u201c\u2026 fulfilling my dream, which is to leave to my country the product of a long life of hard work\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Museu Medeiros e Almeida<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rua Rosa Ara\u00fajo, 41.\u00a01250-194 Lisboa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Open Monday to Saturday<\/strong><strong>, from <\/strong><strong>10am<\/strong><strong> to <\/strong><strong>5pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.museumedeirosealmeida.pt\/\">https:\/\/www.museumedeirosealmeida.pt\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"bodyText parbase\">\n<table class=\" aligncenter\" style=\"height: 22px;\" width=\"856\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-medium-font-size\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;
