Its general objective is to analyze the educational and religious formation that underpinned Serafina Cinque's educational practices and missionary actions in the context of the colonization of the Amazon in Altamira-Pará, from 1970 to 1988. Its specific objectives are: to analyze the ways and means of the Cinque's arrival in Brazil and the reasons for their emigration to the interior of the Amazon, the early years of Serafina Cinque's childhood and adolescence; to trace Serafina Cinque's student, professional and religious career; to identify the challenges faced by Serafina in carrying out her educational practices and missionary actions. The research is documentary from the perspective of cultural history. The historical sources are the two units of the official document for the beatification/canonization of Professor Serafina Cinque, photographs, diplomas, letters and personal notes, attendance reports and the statutes of Casa Divina Providencia and the narratives of nine people interviewed who knew and/or lived with Serafina. Serafina Cinque was the daughter of Italian immigrants Sarah and Vicente Cinque, who came to Brazil at the beginning of the 20th century with the intention of building wealth in the golden age of rubber. She was born on January 31, 1913 in the village of Boca das Garças, in the municipality of Urucurituba, in the state of Amazonas. Sent to Manaus to study at a boarding school and denied her wish to become a nun by her father, she trained as a teacher at the age of 20 and went on to teach in the interior of the state of Amazonas and, later, in numerous schools in the capital. In 1946, she traveled to the United States to become a nun, returning to Brazil with the mission of opening convents in the Amazon. On her return in 1948, she worked as a teacher and school principal, opening schools for her religious congregation. In the state of Pará, in the context of the colonization of the Amazon in the 1970s, she became known as the angel of the Transamazon, for her social work in the city of Altamira and the Xingu region. Serafina's educational background and the philosophical-educational foundations that theoretically and methodologically underpinned her educational practices and missionary actions are intertwined with a humanism that has its cornerstone in the pedagogy of love and Catholic Christian values.PPGED - Saberes culturais e educação na Amazônia
