Antônio Peregrino Maciel Monteiro,2nd Baron of Itamaracá (April 30, 1804 – January 5, 1868) was a Brazilian poet, orator, diplomat, politician, physician and journalist. He is the patron of the 27th chair of theBrazilian Academy of Letters, patron of the 7th chair of thePernambucan Academy of Letters, and of the 23rd chair of theNational Academy of Medicine.
Monteiro was born inRecife,Pernambuco, to Manuel Francisco Maciel Monteiro (who was the brother of the previous Baron of Itamaracá,Tomás Antônio Maciel Monteiro) and Manuela Lins de Melo. After making preparatory studies inOlinda, he went to France in 1823, where he graduated in Medicine, Science andLetters at theUniversity of Paris. In 1829, he returns to Recife, where he becomes a doctor for a short time — he would abandon his medical career to become a politician.
He was a provincial deputy in 1833 and a general deputy from 1834 to 1844, and again from 1850 to 1853. He was also the minister of Foreign Affairs from 1837 to 1839, and the headmaster of the Faculdade de Direito de Olinda from 1839 to 1844. As a journalist, he worked for journalsO Lidador,A Carranca andA União. In 1853, following his diplomatic career, he went toLisbon, where his diplomatic acting would give him the title of secondBaron of Itamaracá, in a post that would last until his death, in 1868. His remains were brought to Pernambuco in 1870, and, in 1872, he was buried at a mausoleum built for him, in thebairro of Santo Amaro, in Recife.
Monteiro's poems were published posthumously, in 1905, under the namePoesias (Poetry).
