This study is about Italian immigration and it gives light to the imaginary of those who came in mass to Brazil in search of a new world, pursuing the dream of a Terrestrial Paradise, the imaginary country of the Cocanha. This subject is illustrated from literary compositions, as the French poem dating from the thirteenth century, Fabliau of Cockaigne , and by using the personage Nanetto Pipetta, clandestine young Veneto immigrant, whose adventures were published weekly in chapters (in a local) periodical from the south of Brazil, Stafetta Riograndense , in the years 1924-1925. The plot experienced by the central character was the constructing wire of the reflections presented. The imaginary of Brazil as the country of the Cocanha for the Italian immigrant finds in this personage its faithful expression, keeping lighted the flame of the hope of a better life for themselves and the future generations.
