help Terra Nostra FAQ
Who are Matteo and Giuliana in Terra Nostra?
Matteo and Giuliana are Italian immigrants who meet while crossing the Atlantic to Brazil aboard a ship carrying families seeking a new life. Thiago Lacerda and Ana Paula Arósio play the separated lovers at the center of the telenovela.
What historical migration does Terra Nostra portray?
The story depicts the large movement of Italians to Brazil in the late 19th century. Much of the drama unfolds around São Paulo coffee plantations, where immigrant labor increasingly replaced enslaved labor after abolition.
Why are Matteo and Giuliana separated after reaching Brazil?
Illness, confusion at the immigrant reception process, and the decisions of the families who employ or shelter them pull the couple apart. Giuliana becomes connected to the wealthy Magliano family, while Matteo builds a different life in the immigrant community.
Is Terra Nostra connected to Esperança?
Esperança is another Benedito Ruy Barbosa telenovela about Italian immigration to Brazil, but it is not a direct continuation of Matteo and Giuliana's romance. TV Globo broadcast Esperança in the early 2000s with a new central family and a later historical setting.
