PERIOD JULY 25 AND AUGUST 01, 2026-SATURDAY 

Antônio Prado is a municipality located in the Serra Gaúcha. The town is part of the state of Rio Grande do Sul in the South of Brazil. IT HAS THE LARGEST ARCHITECTURAL COLLECTION LISTED BY IPHAN RELATED TO ITALIAN COLONIZATION IN BRAZIL. Its population is estimated at 13.041 people. The municipality, like the vast majority of municipalities in the country, originated from the whitening policy imposed by the Brazilian government, which slaughtered and enslaved the indigenous people and occupied the territories with waves of European settlers, among them the Italians. Between 1880 and 1887 the colonization nucleus was created on the right bank of the Rio das Antas, where since 1880 there had already been the farmstead of Simão David de Oliveira. The place was given the name Antonio Prado in honor of the Minister of Agriculture at the time, responsible for implementing the colonies in the south. Antônio Prado was the last Italian colony created by the imperial government. In 1886, the first Italians settled in the region, devoting themselves to small-scale farming. TODAY, IT IS CONSIDERED THE TOWN WITH THE GREATEST ITALIAN INFLUENCE IN BRAZIL.
