![[Flag of Parnaíba,
PI (Brazil)]](../images/b/br-pi-pa.gif)
by Heitor Miranda
Parnaíba (135,000 inhabitants) is a city in the north of Piauí, Brazil. It
is the second biggest city in the state. The biggest is Teresina, the state
capital. Parnaíba is located in the famous Parnaíba River Delta, formed by 70
islands. It is a very beautiful place. The flag, created by Mr. Christino
Melo, a talented local artist, shows 2 white stripes which stand for the
white sands on the banks of the Igaraçu River, one of the Parnaiba River
tributaries. The city was founded on its banks. The white star stands for
the first village founded in that place, called Testa Branca. The blue
stripe stands for the Igaraçu River. The city coat of arms is placed in the
upper hoist corner.
