Fare I'America: Um Sonho Italiano
O presente trabalho não pretende ser apenas mais um livro de família. É uma obra que resgata não só a saga da família Gabardo, como também um pouco da história de dois países que se envolvem na trama apresentada. Não se procurou fazer aqui um trabalho com cunho comercial, mas apenas uma obra com caráter sentimental. Apresenta uma pequena resenha histórica da Itália, terra natal da família, da região do Vêneto, berço dos emigrantes, da província de Vicenza e finalmente do comune de Valstagna, de onde especificamente partiram os membros da família. Esboça-se um relato da viagem empreendida até a nova terra, o Brasil. Enumeram-se as colônias fundadas para abrigar os novos colonizadores. Finalmente, foca-se sobre o trabalho da família Gabardo, procurando resgatar sua ancestralidade e apresentando os imigrantes e seus descendentes. O livro pretende, além de resgatar a história dos dois países, tornar-se um elemento de reconhecimento das raízes para aqueles ligados à família que queiram ter uma pequena noção de suas origens.
