Fundação Maria Luisa e Oscar Americano
The Maria Luisa and Oscar Americano Foundation was established in 1974, two years after the estate was donated to the city of São Paulo, following the death of Maria Luisa in 1972. The house, built in 1950, was designed by architect Oswaldo Arthur Bratke, and the grounds feature a variety of indigenous plants.
