Abstract
In the second half of the 19th century, Antonio Prado emerged as a result of the Italian migratory flows, whose colonization process led immigrants and migrants to intense cultural changes. Considering this scenario, this article aims to reflect on the changes in the ways of life of Italian-Brazilian families based on daily eating practices. Food, in this context, is interpreted as a marker of identity and linked to a network of meanings of local society, as a text, which describes the socio-cultural processes of a group. To this end, oral history was used as a research tool and semi-structured interviews were carried out with pregnant women, in addition to historical documentary research. The results show that Italian-Brazilian food is hybrid, reflects the processes of change in the ways of life of the community, and is now used as a product of tourism consumption characterized as a marker of local identity, whose gastronomic experience is a source of intercultural dialogue.
