Incontri su "Brasile. Tra due mondi, una storia"

The Ethnographic Museum Dolomites opens the month of June with a series of in-depth meetings that will accompany the exhibition "Brazil. Between Two Worlds, A Story" set up at the Exhibition Hall of the Museum.

On Friday, June 13, the historical researcher Daniele Gazzi will give a presentation titled "1875-2025, 150 Years of Italian Emigration in Rio Grande Do Sul. Reflections on a Migration Experience". The presentation will offer an in-depth analysis of a century and a half of Italian migration history in southern Brazil, with particular attention to the social and cultural context that has accompanied the Italian communities in Rio Grande Do Sul.

On Friday, June 27, the linguist and dialectologist Loredana Corrà will present a talk titled "El talian: the Language of Italo-Brazilian Descendants in the Rural Areas of Rio Grande Do Sul", exploring the origins, characteristics, and evolution of talian, a migratory language still spoken in communities in southern Brazil, born from the meeting of Venetian dialects and Portuguese. Following her, anthropologist Daniela Perco will contribute with a presentation titled "The Traditional Oral Heritage of Italo-Brazilians: Fairy Tales, Legends, Songs, Prayers, and Memories", highlighting the cultural and identity value of these narratives, which are living testimonies of the collective memory of Italian emigrants and their descendants.

On Friday, July 4, there will be a presentation of the book "Piero Goes to America" with the author Paolo Malagutti, who will narrate through the eyes of Piero, a fifteen-year-old boy, the choice to leave, to emigrate by ship, from the woods of Veneto to the Brazilian forests as a bet for the future. The evening will be moderated by Elena Turro, librarian of the Ethnographic Museum Dolomites.
