摘要：When in 1947 the poet Joao de Barro wrote that Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro was nothing less than the ‘Little Princess of the Sea’, the likes of Pele and Garrincha were still eleven years away, and Fittipaldi, Piquet and Senna, even farther away in time. Brazil had not yet made any impact on international football nor formula one. In fact, the country was only known internationally, if at all, for its brand of coffee. However, Copacabana in the 1940s and 1950s was already setting the trend in fashion and culture, with celebrities up and down its famous broadwalk, as simply immortalised by Joao de Barro in his majestic, or even royal, description of the beach.
