"HEI DE CUMPRIR ESSES MEOS DEVERES DA MILHOR FORMA POSSIVEL": indícios da presença italiana em São Paulo a partir do processo disciplinar contra professor público (Brotas, 1895/1896).

In 1895, a lawsuit was initiated against Luigi Pericles Salmena, an Italian citizen who worked as an interim teacher, in a temporary school in the city of Brotas, State of São Paulo. This article aims to problematize the exercise of teaching by the immigrant, using a case of disciplinary proceedings from the São Paulo Public Instruction. It is therefore questioned, what is the place of teaching in research on the History of Italian immigration in São Paulo. Anchored in the references of Cultural History and the History of Education and having documentary analysis as the adopted procedure, its sources are the disciplinary process, laws, and the local press. De Certeau's concept of tactics and strategy (2014) is borrowed. As a conclusion, there are the power disputes between the City Councils and the district inspectors; as well as the insertion of the Italian immigrant in Public Education since the end of the 19th century.
