Abstract

In the second decade of the twentieth century, so after the end of World War I, Italian travelers as D'Atri, Bianco, Bonacci, Carrara and Bortolotti visited Brazil and published books, intending to realize his "impressions" of the country. Justifying their views on the Italian immigration, provide data for understanding the phenomenon, sometimes highlighting the issue of Italian identity, since it is the same for them desired. Thus, the study aims to analyze aspects of life of immigrants in Brazilian cities between 1910 and 1926, and the strategies developed for the construction and maintenance of an identity among Italian immigrants, from the word of those travelers-writers.
