You have nearly written to specification, but not quite. You have an hr, so
following text starts on a new line. A new paragraph is implied by your text.
You go into italics. Then you start another new paragraph!
Instead, try
<HR ALIGN=CENTER SIZE=5 WIDTH=80%>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><I>2 de maio</I></P>

The exact spacing depends on how your browser chooses to render this.

I think that browsers are at liberty to coalesce multiple empty paragraphs.
You probably want to use <BR>
