Piau 皮奥
Piau is a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais in the Southeast region of Brazil.
At the end of the eighteenth century, those who had been involved in the Inconfidência Mineira were heavily persecuted by the Portuguese Crown. These men (among them was Francisco José da Silva, uncle of Tiradentes) became fugitives searching for new places to make a new life.
