& Ana

Plácido in the 21st

century

Ana Plácido

The daugther of António José Plácido Braga and Ana Augusta Vieira.When she was 19 years old she married the capitalist Manuel Pinheiro Alves who was 43 years old.

Camilo Castelo Branco

Born in 16 March, son of Manuel Joaquim Botelho Castelo Branco, his mother was never identified.

People said that his father was a man of many women because he was always in the disco, and maybe Camilo Castelo Branco was the result of a bad experience.

Ana Plácido

Everything started on Facebook, when Camilo decided to send a friendship request to Ana. He knew that she was married but he did

not close the page and did it.

Besides accepting the request, she commented on Camilo’s photo. Day after day he gathered up the courage and asked for her email address. From then on, their conversation was on a daily basis on messenger.

The conversation became increasingly intense and a tremendous love and affection appeared between them.They did not know what to do because of Ana’s marriage and in desperation they decided to flee.

They thought of the best choice and decided to flee by underground.When Camilo came to the station he called Ana and she came to him to escape immediately.

Not many days had passed and they had to make a living and get some money to survive, so they started singing on the street.

Some time later, the police was sent to pick Ana by her husband.

In a few hours, Camilo also surrendered and both were convicted for adultery.

Fifteen days later they were both acquitted because the case was not considered serious.

With the death of Manuel Pinheiro Alves, Ana was finally able to be happy with Camilo.The marriage was happy and they had three children, one by artificial insemination.But Ana had to abort the fourth child because it was too expensive for the family income.

However the story had a tragic end because Camilo asked for the divorce with separation of property.Ana hoisted to the custody of the children.
