Abstract

The initiatives of Italian immigrants for the education and instruction of their children during the period of the great immigration (1876-1920), with special attention to the Italian community of Petropolis, are discussed. Methodological procedures comprised historical documentary research in which records were sought in Brazilian and Italian sources to investigate the educational circumstances and schooling provided to Italian immigrants and to understand the social, cultural and historical relationships in which they were inserted. The Italian culture became present in Brazilian society through the works of unknown peasants and of men and women who left their traits in architecture, fine arts, theatre and industrial enterprises, which are still extant. The immigrants founded ‘mutual aid associations’ and instituted various forms of protection and solidarity among their communities, which maintained Italian schools for associates in several places.
