Italo-Brazilian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | According to the Brazilian constitution, anyone born in Brazil is a Brazilian citizen by birthright, including all Italo-Brazilians. |
 | | The Brazilian government, headed by Emperor Pedro II instituted an open-door immigration policy towards Europeans, especially after 1850, when the traffic of African slaves was abolished in Brazil, thus creating potential labor shortages. |
 | | Although the majority of Brazilians of Italian descent live in the South and Southeast part of the country, in recent decades (1960s-present), people from southern Brazil, many of Italian descent, have played a vital role in settling and developing the vast cerrado grasslands of central and northern Brazil. |
