São Paulo in 1913 was the center of Brazil's coffee economy, and the wealth from coffee estates in the interior ran through its growing rail network to the port of Santos. The city's population had grown rapidly since the late 1880s, swelled by European immigrants, many of them Italians who arrived to work on the plantations and then settled in the city to take up trades, small industry, and commerce. Electric trams and new avenues were changing the old colonial core, and the city's planters and politicians, who dominated the state government under the Republic proclaimed in 1889, were building a modern capital to match their prosperity. Residents would have known the city as a fast-rising commercial hub, a place where new fortunes, new factories, and new neighborhoods were appearing almost every year.
