Heróis Da Travessia Do Atlântico, Monument and public heritage site in Socorro District, São Paulo, Brazil.
The granite and bronze sculpture stands as a memorial to pioneer aviators who accomplished early transatlantic flights between Europe and South America.
Inaugurated in 1929, the monument honors Italian aviators Francesco De Pinedo and Carlo Del Prete, who completed their South Atlantic crossing in 1927.
The monument incorporates a Corinthian column from Rome's Capitoline Hill, sent by Benito Mussolini to commemorate the pilots' achievements.
Located at coordinates 23°40'38S, 46°43'03W, near Guarapiranga Dam, the monument offers visitors a connection to early aviation history.
The monument was relocated twice, first in 1987 to Jardins and then in 2010 to its current location in Socorro District.
