Barrio Italia, Vintage Markets & Santiago's Creative Revival

Barrio Italia (the neighbourhood in the Providencia municipality centred on the Avenida Italia and the parallel Avenida Condell — the neighbourhood that has emerged in the 2010s as the most creative and most rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood in Santiago) is the 'Brooklyn of Santiago': the neighbourhood of mid-century furniture restorers, vintage clothing shops, artisan coffee roasters, independent bookshops, and the design studios and restaurants that define Santiago's creative class.
