The Via Dell'Immigrazione Italiana by Jarbas Gomes and Cassius Gonçalves represents the path to the future. On the eve of the 150th anniversary of Italian immigration to the state of Espírito Santo, professionals remember the families who left Italy for Brazil in search of promising horizons. The spirit of “Mérica”, as they called the Americas, symbolized an invitation to leave behind the adversities that plagued their home region and rebuild in a fertile land. This is a path of memories, celebration and recognition of the roots that underpin the present. Walking this path is to delve into the origins of diversity and understand how Italian immigrants reverberate in our identity.
