Did You Know: The House of Bragança Edition #4 

The husbands of D. Maria II of Portugal and Queen Victoria were cousins! And it looks like that wasn’t the only thing that D. Fernando and Prince Albert had in common. ¬‿¬

“In many ways the two cousins were very similar, from their tall and handsome physique and their undoubted prowess in the marriage bed to their meticulous care over the education of their children and their active patronage of the arts and sciences.” (p. 252, The Braganzas: The Rise and Fall of the Ruling Dynasties of Portugal and Brazil, 1640–1910, Malyn Newitt)

Happy 600th birthday! Per molts anys!

Giants are one of the most iconic figures in Catalan culture. Each town, city, or neighbourhood has their own couple of giant hollow figures that usually represent the mythical founders of the town or characters from local legends. People join the group to carry them and make them spin and dance on the streets on the days of local festivities, to the sound of live traditional Catalan festive music.

Giants don't exist only in Catalan culture, they're also present in other parts of Western Europe like Belgium, France, Portugal, Sicily, Southern Italy, the Basque Country, and some parts of Aragon and Castilla (Spain).

But this year, we are celebrating: the earliest ever written document anywhere in the world that mentions a giant figure dates from 1424 and talks about the Barcelona giants that danced in the Corpus festivity. This assures us that giants have been part of Barcelona's festivities for at least 600 years. Then, the giants were King David and the Giant (characters from the Bible), but with time they changed a bit and by the 1500s they were a king and a queen, who came to be identified with the king James I and the queen Violant of Hungary, the most iconic and important monarchs in Catalan history.

However, since they symbolise people from Catalan history, the giants were repressed by the Spanish fascist dictatorships of Primo de Rivera and Francisco Franco. These regimes had the aim of exterminating Catalan culture. They banned and persecuted the Catalan language and identity and many cultural celebrations of Catalan people, such as banning some songs and holidays. For this reason, the giants were forced to be renamed Isabella and Ferdinand and pretend like they represented the Catholic Kings, two key figures of Spanish history. When the dictatorship ended, they became Jaume I and Violant again.

The figures of the Barcelona city giants used nowadays aren't the same ones as 600 years ago, of course. The figures get copied into new ones when it's necessary. The ones used now were made in 1991 copying the previous figures, made in 1921.

Giants are adored by kids, and the Barcelona city male giant (gegant de la Ciutat) and the giant from Santa Maria del Pi parish of Barcelona (gegant del Pi) are also the main characters of one of the most popular traditional children's songs in Catalonia.

We love to see them continue being as popular as ever. Yesterday, they celebrated their anniversary with a meeting of giants from all the neighbourhoods of Barcelona and well as from other cities and towns. More than 600 giants gathered in Barcelona to dance together for the Barcelona city giants anniversary!

Maria Filipe Castro (@droolwool)

Hi! I’m Maria Filipe Castro, aka droolwool, a Fiber and Toy Artist from Portugal, currently based in the UK. I design characters in a deliciously cute style that I sculpt using needles and wool, creating unique and one-of-a-kind Art Toys and Soft Sculptures. Using food and nature as inspiration, I love to tell tiny stories with a touch of innocence and lots of humor. My characters portray spontaneous human reactions, capturing moments that only children and especially toddlers are capable of demonstrating. With each character I create, I’ve been building a special world where fruits, clouds, sweets, and elements of nature come to life and share their personal stories about love, friendship, self-expression, misfortunes, and overcoming obstacles, among other daily life events. I’m currently teaching Needle Felting and design approach on an online course at Domestika, a technique that I’ve been developing for almost 10 years.
