Art/Literary - Tourism & Travel / cidade de ouro preto
Portuguese term or phrase: piso pé de moleque
Contexto:
O piso da Senzala
Descoberto em novembro de 1973, pelo administrador da Casa dos Contos/ CECO, Eugênio Ferraz, o piso pé de moleque existente na senzala até então sob aterro, de cerca de 60cm, escondia, na última sala da área, grande quantidade de cadinhos utilizados na fundição de ouro, que ali tinham sido jogados anteriormente e, com o tempo, foram recobertos. Trata-se de refratários, possivelmente franceses, à base de grafita, com o símbolo do fabricante e número de tamanho impressos na base.

O que seria este piso? 'pavement... ?'

"O piso Pé de Moleque é chamado assim porque as crianças é que acomodavam as pedras com os pés, se elas não se acomodassem na areia, é porque está errado e mal colocado”.
"Piso pé de moleque" est presque l'équivalent de la "calçada portuguesa" (pavement ou chaussée à la portugaise).
