Bixiga, Italian immigrant neighborhood in Bela Vista District, São Paulo, Brazil
The streets of Bixiga contain hundreds of traditional Italian restaurants, theaters, and residential buildings with characteristic architecture from the 1800s.
The area transformed from Chácara do Bexiga into residential lots in 1878, becoming a settlement for Italian immigrants and freed slaves during São Paulo's industrialization.
The Nossa Senhora Achiropita festival in August brings 200,000 visitors to experience Italian food traditions and religious ceremonies in the neighborhood streets.
The Sunday antique market features 300 vendor stalls selling furniture, clothes, jewelry, and collectibles throughout the neighborhood's central area.
The Escadaria do Bixiga stairs connect the district's museums while offering views of preserved 19th-century immigrant housing structures.
