Sumario:This article has as its scope the questions concerning the teaching and writing of school history in the conception of the Italian Jesuit Raphael Galanti (1840-1917). With the emergence of the republican government in Brazil, the teaching of history underwent important transformations, such as the inclusion of new heroes, the recovery of a past with democratic connotation and the strengthening of the defense of moral and patriotic values, already elucidated in the works published throughout the second half of the nineteenth century. In the case of Father Raphael Galanti, his conception of the history of Brazil can be understood through his textbooks, as well as through the speeches published in the Journal of the Brazilian Historical and Geographic Institute in the course of the eight hundred. In this sense, the teaching of history proposed by Galanti expressed a current concern in the school historiography of the time in the process of building republican memory backed by the mythification of new heroes.
