Another example of Brazilian-Italian contacts in Brazilian literature is João Silverio Trevisan's Ana em Veneza. It tells the story of Júlia Mann, her Black nurse Ana, and composer Alberto Nepomuceno in Venice in 1890. Exile connects them, weaving together cultures, art, and the quest for belonging.

Did you know that Nelson Pereira dos Santos hired two Italians (father and son) for several of his films? Manfredo and Arduino Colasanti came to Brazil in 1947, and the son (Arduino) even played various leading roles for dos Santos, for example in Como era gostoso o meu francês. #ItalyBrazil
