Immigration
[edit]After the abolition of slavery in 1888, Mococa began to receive a large number of immigrants to work on the coffee plantations. Among the immigrants, the majority were Italians, numbering between 9,000 and 10,000, coming mainly from the regions of Lombardy, Veneto, Lazio, Campania and Sicily. But there were also Germans, mainly from the Bavaria region, Austrians, Portuguese; Spanish from Andalusia and Galicia and, to a lesser extent, Lebanese, among others. The current population is the result of the miscegenation of these immigrants; it is estimated that the majority have at least one Italian ancestor.[5]
Media
[edit]In telecommunications, the city was served by Companhia Telefônica Brasileira until 1973, when it began to be served by Telecomunicações de São Paulo.[6] In July 1998, this company was acquired by Telefónica, which adopted the Vivo brand in 2012.[7]
The company is currently an operator of cell phones, fixed lines, internet (fiber optics/4G) and television (satellite and cable).[7]
