The Miró Quesada family is a Peruvian business family.[1] The family is considered one of the most powerful groups in the country, due to the business conglomerate in media, mining, tourism, and banking that is under its ownership.[2] Most notably, the family is the owner of El Comercio Group,[3] [4] [5] a media conglomerate that owns the newspaper of the same name.
History
The family traces its origins to Tomás Miró and his wife Josefa de Quesada, who left San Juan de Penonomé in Panama towards Peru in 1847. They had six children: Antonio, Luis, Aurelio, Óscar, Miguel and Josefa "Pepita" Miró Quesada.[6] Of these children, Antonio (Panama; — Lima;) became the sole owner of El Comercio, a newspaper originally founded in 1839 by José Manuel Amunátegui y Muñoz (Chile, — Lima) and Alejandro Villota (Buenos Aires, — Paris,),[7] after the death of co-owner in 1898 as part of an arrangement between both parties.[8] Since then, different branches of the family have been closely involved with both the newspaper and the media conglomerate of the same name.[9]
