00:00and I was there for a few days,
00:02and I was told that there was a lot of people
00:04who were coming to visit me.
00:06I was very surprised.
00:08I was very scared.
00:10I was very scared.
00:12I was very scared.
00:14I was very scared.
00:18I left Italy.
00:20Our grandparents were very poor.
00:24I came to Brazil to pick up coffee.
00:30They had a very difficult life.
01:00I am the blood of Italy,
01:02on behalf of my mother
01:04and on behalf of my father.
01:06I ended up being born here
01:08because of destiny.
01:10I am Italian.
01:12I feel like an Italian citizen.
01:24My brother went to Brazil
01:27My brother went.
01:29He is in Italy.
01:31He doesn't like it very much,
01:33but his wife likes it.
01:35He wants to come,
01:37but he doesn't want to go,
01:39even if it's an adventure.
01:51I came here,
01:53but I regret it.
01:55It would be better in Brazil
01:57if I wasn't recognized as an Italian,
01:59but as a Brazilian,
02:01an extracommunist.
02:12I have a dream
02:14of rescuing the citizenship,
02:17the Italian name.
02:19There is a pride
02:21of the Italian descendants.
02:26I see that the descendants
02:28of immigrants
02:30don't find their roots.
02:32Immigrants like me,
02:34who are not descendants,
02:36find their roots.
02:38People who could show them
02:40their roots,
02:42they don't show them
02:44because they see them
02:46as foreigners.
02:56We need all the forces
02:58of the order
03:00to shield our borders.
03:02We don't need
03:04extracommunists here.
03:26I want to see the Colosseum,
03:28the União Cave.
03:30I want to see
03:32how women are in Italy.
03:34The government organizes
03:36in a more democratic way.
03:38I am a citizen,
03:40I know I will have
03:42my rights as an Italian.
03:44If I am Italian,
03:46I will go to Italy.
