In this period of Porto’s history, some Brazilian businessman, their descendants and some Portuguese, who also lived in Brazil, played a very important role. Men and women, who once lived in Brazil, brought to Portugal innovation and luxury from the New World, a heritage that can still be found in the culture of the city.
