AbstractBetween late March and early April 1964, asuccessful civil-military insurrection brought about a serious institutional breakdown in Brazil. President João Goulart (PTB) was ousted from office and General Humberto de Alencar Castello Branco was appointed to the presidency. What to some was a coup, to others was a democratic revolution. No one imagined, however, that more than 20 years of military regime was being inaugurated in Brazil at the time. Although the insurrection did not start in Rio Grande do Sul, it was joined since the beginning by the gauchos (natives of the Rio Grande do Sul state), including the Governor himself, Ildo Meneghetti. Furthermore, both the President of the Republic, popularly known as Jango, and Leonel de Moura Brizola, his brother-in-law, then the leading leader of the radical left, were also gauchos. . Escaping from Rio de Janeiro and isolated in Brasilia, the President of the Republic took refuge in Porto Alegre in a final attempt at resistance before heading for exile. The article looks at the events that shook Porto Alegre at the time and marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new cycle. Keywords: João Goulart; Ildo Meneghetti;
