摘要：In reading the descriptions of European travelers about Brazil, during the nineteenth century, we realize that stereotypes are reaffirmed by previous scientific knowledge, assuming the excellence of their culture and confirmation of a model that would be really human and civilization. To get a better idea of how this process was accomplished, leave some works that studied the Italian identity in its various manifestations, cutting the description given by the Italian travelers on a specific element, as addressed by several studies – women. Time is of the nineteenth century, the entire space is Brazil. Reports will focus on, among others, the Italian doctor Alfonso Lommonaco, “Al Brasile”, published in Milan in 1889, Marcone, a former deputy in the National Parliament entitled “The Italians in Brazil”, written in 1877 and Francesco Ammannati “A viaggio ai confini del mondo, 1865-1868”.
