Bento Ribeiro is a middle-class neighborhood in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a suburban area in the vicinity of Marechal Hermes and Oswaldo Cruz and Vila Valqueire. Bento Ribeiro owes its name to Bento Manuel Ribeiro Carneiro Monteiro, mayor of Rio de Janeiro between 1910 and 1914. It is the birthplace of the professional football player Ronaldo and the place where the famous television host Xuxa lived in her childhood. Former president of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro also lived in the neighborhood. After being elected councilman in Rio de Janeiro, Jair Bolsonaro chose to acquire a residence on Divisória Street, located in Bento Ribeiro. It was at this address that he shared his home with his wife, Rogéria Nantes, and their three children, Flávio, Carlos, and Eduardo, until around the mid-1990s when the family moved to Tijuca.With a little over 300 hectares in total, Bento Ribeiro's origins trace back to a railway station established in 1914, during the final year of the general's term as mayor of the former federal capital. Both the station and the neighborhood were named after him. The area saw an influx of Italian and Portuguese immigrants, contributing to its population growth. Presently, Bento Ribeiro is home to over 40,000 residents.
