	Tiradentes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in São José del Rei (now called Tiradentes), Minas Gerais, Tiradentes was adopted by his godfather and moved to Vila Rica (now Ouro Preto) after the deaths of his parents (mother in 1755; father in 1757).
		His body was quartered and his head displayed publicly in the Vila Rica square as a warning to other revolutionaries.
		He began being considered a national hero by the republicans in the late 19th century, and after the republic was proclaimed in Brazil in 1889 the anniversary of his death (April 21st) became a national holiday.

	Minas Gerais - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first capital and seat of the local see was the city of Mariana; it was later moved to Vila Rica.
		In the late 18th century, Vila Rica was the biggest city in Brazil and one of the biggest of the Americas in population.
		As the gold mines were exhausted over the 19th century, the city lost its importance; it was later renamed Ouro Preto and remained the state capital until the construction of the all-new, planned city of Belo Horizonte at the turn of the 20th century.
