== História == Due to its proximity to Curitiba, the territory of the present-day municipality of Pinhais followed the course of events during the occupation and development of the Curitiba plateau, centered on the capital of Paraná. The construction of the Curitiba-Paranaguá Railway, which cut through the region to the east, was important. Near the Brasholanda company, there was a ceramics factory owned by the Joaquim Torres family. The company was acquired in the mid-1920s, under mortgage, by Guilherme Weiss, who perfected the production technique. Count Humberto Scarpa, Guilherme Weiss's son-in-law, inherited the ceramics factory, maintaining production until 1960. Later, he established the Rui Itiberê da Cunha real estate company, subdividing and offering for sale the areas of Weissópolis, Vargem Grande, Vila Esplanada, and Vila Tarumã.
