(Curitiba, March 29, 1924 - Curitiba, May 8, 1998)
Napoleon Potyguera Lazzarotto is Curitiba's most known artist.
25th December 1996 Day 2 in Brazil
We came to Largo da Ordem - Old town Curitiba in the evening of Christmas Day of 1996.
From our hotel we took a taxi (R$5.00). The taxi driver dropped us in front the art panel of Poty.
Many years before, the old town of Curitiba (Largo da Ordem) was an area of intense commerce of the city.
Today the area has been developed into an historical, cultural and artistic area.
Here you can find old architecture of houses, buildings and churches; historical monuments, artistic panels, art galleries, restaurants, etc.
The Traditional Handcraft Market “Feirinha do Largo da Ordem” is held here every Sunday from 10:00AM to 2:00PM since 1973. This Sunday market is the second largest craft fair in Brazil, with over 1,000 artisans present each Sunday.
This cultural rich location is a meeting point for locals and tourists.
