Viana (Francisco Eduardo Alves)
Madeiran co-founder of the Gabinete Português de Leitura in Rio de Janeiro (1837), where he served as secretary of the organising committee.
The remarkable cultural institution founded in the city of Rio de Janeiro by the Portuguese community in 1837 under the name of Gabinete Português de Leitura is well known. One of its founders was the Madeiran Francisco Eduardo Alves Viana, who served with the greatest dedication as secretary of the organising committee of that great undertaking. Its catalogue, published in 1906 in two volumes of 1400 pages, shows the merit of this foundation and the services it has rendered.
