Caxias do Sul, Industrial city in Serra Gaúcha region, Brazil
Caxias do Sul is an industrial city in the Serra Gaúcha of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. The municipality spreads over hills at roughly 817 meters elevation between the Antas and Caí river valleys.
Italian settlers founded the town from 1875 onward in the hills of Rio Grande do Sul. On June 1, 1910, the settlement officially received city status.
The biennial Grape and Wine Festival in February draws crowds with tastings, music, and regional dishes. Churches and squares downtown show facades and details that recall northern Italy.
A railway line links the city to Porto Alegre to the east, while highways run toward São Paulo to the west. A small airport sits near the center for domestic connections.
Many residents still speak Talian, a language form with Venetian roots. This dialect is heard at markets and in older neighborhoods alongside everyday Portuguese.
