Parque Temático Epopeia Italiana is an immersive cultural attraction in Bento Gonçalves that recounts the 1875 migration of the Lázaro and Rosa Giordani family from Italy to Brazil. The park is structured as a chronological walkthrough consisting of nine distinct sets that replicate the life and challenges of early Italian immigrants. Visitors participate in a guided theatrical performance that highlights the struggles of sea travel, the arrival in the Serra Gaúcha, and the establishment of local viticulture. The experience culminates in a wine and grape juice tasting session. The park is integrated with the Maria Fumaça steam train tour logistics. It utilizes authentic artifacts and period-accurate reconstruction to depict the historical transition from life in the Veneto region to the settlement in Rio Grande do Sul. The site is located within the same complex as the Epopéia Italiana park infrastructure and is operated by Giordani Turismo.
