Caxias do Sul, Industrial city in Serra Gaúcha region, Brazil
Located at an elevation of 817 meters, Caxias do Sul extends across hills between the Antas and Caí river valleys in Rio Grande do Sul state.
The arrival of Italian settlers in 1875 marked the beginning of the settlement, which received official city status on June 1, 1910.
The National Grape and Wine Festival occurs every two years in February, representing the strong Italian influence in local traditions and gastronomy.
The city connects to Porto Alegre through a railway line and features an airfield, while major highways provide access to São Paulo.
Local residents maintain the Talian language, a regional variant influenced by Venetian dialects, alongside the official Portuguese language.
