Quintino Antônio Ferreira de Sousa Bocaiuva (4 December 1836 – 11 July 1912) was a Brazilian politician and writer. He served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil between 1889 and 1891. He was also President of the State of Rio de Janeiro, between 1900 and 1903. He was known for his actions during the Proclamation of the Republic.[1][2]
Bocaiuva was born in Itaguaí and then moved to São Paulo, where he started working as a typographer. He started to study Law but dropped out of his studies due economic reasons. As a Nativist, he adopted the name "Bocaiuva", in reference to a local kind of palm tree. He started his career as a journalist, defending Republican ideas in some newspapers of Rio de Janeiro.
He died in Rio de Janeiro at the age of 75. The neighborhood where he lived in the city was named after him, Quintino Bocaiuva, and is popularly known as Quintino.
