João Branco Núncio

João Alves Branco Núncio (February 15, 1901 - January 26, 1976) was a Portuguese bullfighter.

Later, he graduated in Commerce from the local "Academic School" and dedicated himself to toiling in the rural properties of Alcácer do Sal.

He was also known as the “Califa de Alcácer” because, besides being an expert rider, he was also a farm-hand and a horse master.

After distinguishing himself in local contests, an opportunity was granted him to appear in the bullfighting ring of Campo Pequeno, in Lisbon, on May 27, 1923.

He vied with António Luís Lopes, in a race organized by Patrício Cecílio, bullfighting with his famous horse Quo Vadis.
