Antonio Del Fiol, an immigrant born
in 1884, in the village of Vigonovo, located
in the Veneto region of northern Italy, arrived in Brazil in 1888, where
he grew a family. He started up his business in Tatui, with a grocery store
at Onze de Agosto st. in 1926.
In 1931 he opened up a bar / restaurant at Praça da Matriz, and in 1936 he founded the Hotel Del Fiol. Due to Mr. Fiol's death in 1939, the management of the hotel was passed on to his wife Cezira and his son Oswaldo. Oswaldo, together with his wife Yolanda, managed the hotel for 56 years, gathering an enormous circle of friends among the guests, as they considered making friends more important than running the business itself. At the hotel bar, before the arrival of television, the guests and the local elite used to get together every night – liberal professionals, authorities and politicians.
The Hotel, after successive extensions, has been in the last few years through a total renovation, offering now 60 housing units, among apartments and suites, access to Internet (broadband connection) and a wide meeting room, equipped with modern multimedia equipment. Since Mr. Oswaldo's death, in 1995, his son Raul and his granddaughter Eliza remain as owners and partners; Fábio Rogério Vieira is the current manager.
