History

The first project for the station in the region was made by Brazilian Urban Trains Company (CBTU) in 1985, named that time as Parque de São Francisco. However, the construction never happened by lack of funds.[1]

The station was built and opened by CPTM on 10 January 1998, named Lageado. On 19 August 1998, it was renamed to Antonio Gianetti Neto. It was the first station built by CPTM.[2]

Toponymy

The renaming happened when a Project from State Deputy Guilherme Gianetti (PMDB) was approved in the State Legislative Assembly by the other deputies. Deputy Gianetti wanted to pay tribute to his uncle, already deceased, by his contribution to the city of Ferraz de Vasconcelos and its region. Antonio Gianetti Neto went to Ferraz with his family as a child. He was one of the first in confection of bricks, having a brick factory. In the 1950s, found Agricultural and Pastoral Industry, in the neighbourhood of Cambiri, where he lived. The industry provided quartz for Gothard Factory and employed at the time 120 employees. Around 1962, opened Brasil Construction Material Warehouse, in Rua Godofredo Ozório Novais. Donated part of the materials for the construction of a school and made it easy the purchase of materials for residents build their houses.[3]
