Description
Summary:A case study was carried out in Venda Nova do Imigrante county, at Espirito Santo State, Brazil. It was observed that the agritourism is related to the ethnical identity of the inhabitants. Through the ethnography of the Festa da Polenta, one of the many Italian ethnical identities, it was pretended to argue the relationship between the agritourism practices and the building of the Italian ethnic identity. The developed agritourism shows up itself not only a rural tourism or a tourism related to the country man and his practices, but a tourism related to the Italian typical customs. Otherwise, it was demonstrated that in the reinvention of Italian ethnical identity of the Venda Novenses, the agritourism role rises as the principal one, selecting, detaching or even inventing diacritics signs.
