    Bocaiuva was born in Itaguaí and then moved to São Paulo, where he started working as typographer. He started to study Law but dropped off the studies due economical reasons. As a Nativist, he adopted the name "Bocaiuva" in reference to a local kind of palm tree. He started as a journalist defending Republican ideas in some newspapers of Rio de Janeiro.

    He died in Rio de Janeiro at 75. The neighborhood where he lived in the city was named after him, Quintino Bocaiuva, and is popularly known as Quintino.
