Curitiba - Santa Felicidade District

Santa Felicidade District

From the city center Avenida Jaime Reis runs north-west into the Santa Felicidade district (8km/5mi), predominantly inhabited by Italians, which grew up in the 19th century. The main street, here named Avenida Manoel Ribas, is lined with pseudo-Italian restaurants, mainly patronized by the city's new rich. This district is the scene annually of a Festival in February and an event called "Quattro Giorni in Italia" ("Four Days in Italy"; dates vary).
