um estudo sobre a imigração italiana em Buenos Aires e Caxias do Sul 1910 - 1954 - 2016

Abstract

The text is about a study of two Italian immigration’s monuments - the
Cristóvão Colombo Monument, in Buenos Aires /AR and the National
Immigrant Monument, in Caxias do Sul / BR, both built in urban
spaces and related to the italian presence in both South American countries.
Being bearers of this identity, both monuments represent not only
the communities who built them and their will, but also bring with them
memories and tributes from who donated them. Such monuments, at
the same time that they are memory spots and places of remembrance,
they belong to their countries cultural patrimony. Though they are
sensitive to modifications that might follow over time, these urban equipments
had, in their trajectory, different destinations.
