Scandinavian Brazilian ((ポルトガル語:escandinavo-brasileiro)) is a Brazilian person of full or partial Scandinavian ancestry, or a Scandinavian-born person residing in Brazil. The Scandinavian settlement in Brazil began in the mid to late 19th century and was predominant then: when Scandinavians people arrived in Brazil. Many Scandinavians came to Brazil for economic reasons and to start a new life.〔(Nossa Feira, Nossa Terra, Nossa Gente - FEARG/FECIS 2008 )〕 In recent years, many Norwegians and Swedes have migrated to the littoral zone of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (mainly Natal) and Ceará, attracted by the beaches and the tropical climate.〔(Rio Grande dos nórdicos - dos espanhóis, portugueses, até islandeses: europeus compram casas com certificado de sol )〕 Brazil is home to the largest Scandinavian population in Latin America, with a majority of Norwegian descendants. ==History== In 1768, the scientist Daniel Solander, disciple of Carl von Linné, was the first known Swede to arrive in Brazil.〔(Brazilian Embassy in Stockholm )〕 The relations between Brazil and Sweden were rooted in the family ties between the Brazilian and Swedish Royal Families, and in the Swedish emigration to Brazil at the end of the 19th century. King Oscar I's wife, Queen Josefina av Leuchtenberg, was sister to Amelia de Leuchtenberg, wife of Emperor Pedro I. Diplomatic relations between Brazil and Sweden were established in 1826. In Riddarholmen, where Swedish kings and noblemen are buried, there are commemorative plaques of Emperors Pedro I and Pedro II as well as of President Epitácio Pessoa (who received the Order of Serafim). The first Swedish emigrants arrived in Brazil in 1890, and in 1909 the first sea line between the two countries was initiated. Mass emigration from Norway started circa 1865–1866, after the civil war was over. Several ship-owners saw the opportunity to earn good money by transporting migrants to the New World. United States, Canada and Brazil received many Norwegians. In Curitiba, one of the first Scandinavian of note to arrive was Alfredo Andersen, an artist who arrived towards the end of the 19th century and painted well into the 1930s. The Museu Alfredo Andersen contains much of his work, located in Paraná (state).〔(Publicações - Scandinavian culture in Curitiba: 365 hands - one for every day of the year )〕 In addition, Icelandic immigrants settled there in 1863 and again in 1873. Probably the largest concentration of Swedish immigrants in Brazil is located in the area of Missões in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, where in the late 1800s 200 Swedish families moved to the city of Guarani das Missões. Examples of this immigration is the Karlson House (Casa Sueca) in Guarani das Missões, the Svenska Kulturhuset in the district of Linha Jansen (Farroupilha, RS), the Mission of Örebro in Venancio Aires, RS. Swedish cultural groups include the Ovenska Danser ballet of Ijuí, RS and the Ballet Patrícia Johnson of Bento Gonçalves, RS. In April 2010, the City of Nova Roma, RS celebrated the 120th anniversary of the Swedish immigration to the city. Earlier, in 1991, the city of Ijui, RS celebrated the immigration of the Scandinavians to their city (mainly Swedes) with the opening of a Swedish Cultural Center in the city. There was also significant immigration of Swedish and Danish citizens to São João da Boa Vista, in the state of São Paulo.〔SPLETTSTOSER JR., Jaime - ''Alemães, suecos, dinamarqueses e austríacos em São João da Boa Vista''.
