My family & culture
My name, Rodrigo, and surname, Corrêa da Silva, are Portuguese.
My surname, Corrêa da Silva, is the same surname as my father’s surname, which is the same as my paternal grandfather’s surname, which is the same surname of my paternal great-grandfather who immigrated from Portugal to Brazil.
I’m of Portuguese, Italian and Brazilian indigenous descent, and I intend to immigrate and or know other countries in the future, USA, Canada, and or Europe for example.
My paternal grandparents are of Portuguese, Italian and Brazilian indigenous descent, and my maternal grandparents are of Portuguese and Brazilian indigenous descent.
My paternal grandfather’s name is Adão and he is a son of Portuguese, and my maternal grandmother’s name is Laura, she is a daughter of Italian for example, and they are my grandparents that I lived with the most, in my childhood and adolescence I always went to my paternal grandparents’ house on weekends for example, and that I liked and like the most.
I and my father are from São Paulo state, born in the São Paulo state, and my grandfather Adão is a son of Portuguese and was born in the state of Paraná in the southern region of Brazil.
My inspiration for creating the concept of simple and beautiful comes from my paternal grandparents. From my grandfather Adão I thought of the concept of simple, and from my paternal grandmother Laura comes the concept of beautiful for example.
My father’s name is Clóvis and my mother’s name is Josy, and my parents divorced in my teenage years, and while they were married they had a small water delivery company, and from my parents comes a little of my inspiration to entrepreneurship and to seek what is the best for example.
