The exhibition “Régio and Serpa” is part of a cycle highlighting the personal friendships José Régio cultivated with those closest to him. From Agustina Bessa-Luís to Manoel de Oliveira, António Botto to Branquinho da Fonseca, and João Gaspar Simões to Alberto Serpa, the exhibition presents letters, dedications, personal objects, and other traces of identity and closeness, typically showcased by museum institutions such as Casa de José Régio.

Through a chronological timeline, visitors are invited to explore the lives of Régio and Serpa, emphasizing the deep friendship that united them over decades. More than literary and artistic colleagues, they were companions in life, sharing professional and personal bonds. Through projects, letters, walks, and memories, the exhibition showcases a truly singular friendship, with Serpa revealed as José Régio’s lifelong confidant and closest friend.
