Antônio Prado, Italian heritage municipality in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Located at 658 meters elevation in southern Brazil, Antônio Prado extends across 347 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in Serra Gaúcha region.

The settlement began in 1886 when Italian immigrants arrived in the region, leading to its official establishment as a municipality in February 1899.

The municipality maintains 48 historical buildings designated by IPHAN, representing the largest collection of Italian colonial architecture in Brazil.

The town center contains multiple restaurants serving regional dishes, accommodation options, and direct road connections to Porto Alegre, 184 kilometers away.

The 1995 film 'O Quatrilho', nominated for an Academy Award, used Antônio Prado's streets as filming locations to depict early 20th century Brazil.
