This paper is the result of an ethnographic research that has been developed between/with Italian Brazilian in Santa Maria and in the towns of the Fourth Colony of Italian immigration (RS – Brazil). Our objective is to analyze the dynamics involved in the process of recognition of Italian citizenship, as well as the value attributed to the Italian passport. We observed that the passport, besides a document (object), crystallizes affective and symbolic values that make it more relevant than the waiting time for the citizenship and the economic cost that this process demands.
