FAMILY HISTORY
(Branch Bartolomeo Tagliaro)
In 1873, Angelo Tagliaro and his wife
Antonia Baú left from Gênova to Brazil, accompanied of
father Bartolomeo and the children Valentin, Antonio, Bartolomeo,
Maria, Pio, Pedro and Angelo.
The trip took 13 months until the
arrival in Rio de Janeiro, from where, in another ship, they
travelled to Porto Alegre (south Brazil) and later on to the
village of São Sebastião do Cai, from where Antônia and
the older son Valentim, left to Bento Gonçalves, in order to
inspect the colony they had become designated.
From São Sebastião do Cai, they went
in donkey thru the jungle to Bento Gonçalves, where they settled
down as farmers in a property of 45 ha, in the place called Borgo
(old colonial way and current Street São Paulo), where the
children José, João and Terezinha were born.
In 1879, Antonio Tagliaro and his wife Catarina, with the children José, Elisabeta, Maria and Antonio, embarked to Brazil and, after an afflicted 11 months travell (during the trip the ship was forced to make an emergency stop in the coast of Africa, where the son Bellin was probably born), they meet the remaining of the family in Bento Gonçalves and started to live jointly at a two pavements house made of stones (they say that got to live 45 people in the same house).
In the end of the century XIX, the
family sold this property and acquired a bigger farm in the
place called Aguas Claras, current a
municipal district of André da Rocha, where each son could build
his own house.
