Launch of the book “CHAPAS” Heraldry of Insurance Companies, by Vítor Alegria and José Pousinho Henriques, with Carlos Barata’s photograph.

The book “CHAPAS” Heraldry of Insurance Companies resulted from a challenge made by Carlos Marques, president of STAS – Trade Union of the Workers of Insurance Activity, to the three mentioned insurance professionals, to carry out a documentary work on the collection of insurance mark of this institution.

Over the course of the work, for the materialisation of this book, it was possible to count on access to other insurance mark collections in Portugal, which allowed enriching the edition, which was launched on March 30 at the Grémio Literário, in Lisbon.
