Abstract
This article pretends to present a didactic proposal for the Italian class as a foreign language based on the poetry of Massimo Fioravanti Bosi, an Italian inmigrant and striker in the Costa Rica of the XIXth century, during the constrution of the railroad to the Atlantic coast, named Ricordi di Costarica that was published in 1936. In order to accomplish this proposal, we took into consideration the meaning construction process and its nine categories (Hanauer: 2001). It is important to enhance the historical facts that the author relates in this poem his life experience in Costa Rica and that it has never been published in its complete version in our country. It was written on February 1893, almost four years after the poet’s return to Italy.
