Vaccarini emigrated to Brazil in 1946 after World War II and worked as a set designer for the Teatro Brasileiro de Comédia. In 1980 he opened a studio in Altinópolis and the municipality became home to his works, which are primarily in concrete and depict women and families. In the design of the park Vaccarini grouped 42 sculptures on seven thematic monuments.
