Floriano, Administrative municipality in Piauí, Brazil
Floriano lies on the right bank of the Parnaíba River at 179 meters elevation, opposite to the city of Barão de Grajaú in Maranhão state.
The municipality emerged from four former sesmarias granted to Domingos Afonso Mafrense in 1676, who introduced agriculture and cattle raising in the region.
The local folklore combines Portuguese, Indigenous, African, and Arab influences, with traditional manifestations like Cavalo Piancó and Pastoril performances.
