The area includes buildings such as the Church of the Good Shepherd, which features a ceramic mosaic on its facade, and the Senhor do Bonfim Municipal Cemetery.

The Governador José de Magalhães Pinto Avenue is the main link between the center of Fabriciano and the Senador Melo Viana district.

In the 1950s, the land was divided into lots and converted into a neighborhood, named after Alberto Giovannini, who was born in Queluz in São Paulo and lived in Coronel Fabriciano since August 1927, where he died on September 25, 1963.

It is bordered by the Caladão Stream, which cuts through the city and receives dirt and pollution from homes and small industries, workshops or slaughterhouses on its banks.

[6][7][8][9][10][11] In 2010, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) estimated that 3 020 inhabitants lived in the neighborhood, which is comparable to cities in Minas Gerais such as Jaguaraçu, Rio Doce and Carmésia.

There are municipal public transport bus lines that serve the neighborhood, and many of the routes that connect the central region to the interior of the Senador Melo Viana district use Magalhães Pinto Avenue to reach their destinations.

[18][2][19][20] The area includes buildings such as the Church of the Good Shepherd, whose facade features a ceramic mosaic depicting Jesus with a flock of sheep, and the Senhor do Bonfim Municipal Cemetery, where around 30,000 bodies have been buried in approximately 2,000 graves.

The state schools in the area also organize events aimed at the population, such as environmental awareness campaigns and educational talks, and on All Souls' Day the Municipal Cemetery receives thousands of visitors to the graves.
