Sinopse
Características

The cart, pulled by an old, gentle, and lazy donkey and driven by Giovanni, moved so slowly that anyone walking on foot would have arrived sooner. It made no noise. It passed quietly and unnoticed through the citys streets. Irrelevant. Perhaps no one even noticed its presence. And as for the people riding in it, even less so. They were faceless figures. Black-and-white portraits of a wretched people whom the Kingdom of Italy was eager to see leave its shores. And not a moment too soon. After a succession of hardships that had left them—and many of their fellow countrymen—with neither food nor prospects, in 1888 Sante Parise and his wife Luigia emigrated with their son Giovanni, their daughter-in-law, and their five grandchildren to Brazil. Sante was 70 years old when he embarked on this extremely difficult, oneway journey, and his grandson Pietro was only eight days old. In this thoroughly researched account, Sante Parises great-grandson tells, in a fluid and engaging style, how Italian peasants with little education and almost no idea of what Brazil was like had to organize themselves to leave behind everything they knew and travel to Diamante Farm, where they worked on coffee plantations. And how, through courage and hard work, they eventually became prosperous landowners in the municipality of Conchas, in the interior of the state of São Paulo.
