“Youth, the freshness of youth, should be the foreshadowing of a horizon to lose sight of. Long and wide path sign... But the designs of life are unfathomable. We see the disappearance of a militant monarchist, a talented artist, but above all a loyal, whole friend. He was a member of the Royal Cause Directorate. A fellow who never ran away from work and can now rest. Condolences to your parents, to your brothers and to your many, many friends!"
The Real Lisbon Association describes Nuno as a “person of convictions and affable treatment, gave everything he had for the causes he was involved in and for the profession he embraced: photography”.
