Museu da Imigração do Estado de São Paulo: Acervo Digital

Hospedaria registers (livros de matrícula), searched by name (GET form): https://www.museudaimigracao.org.br/acervo/registro-de-matricula?nome=&sobrenome=<X>&nacionalidade=&chegada=<year>&vapor=
- Detail pages: /acervo/registro-de-matricula/detalhes?id=..&livro=..&pagina=..&familia=..
- Page images: /uploads/portal/acervo/livros/pdfs/L<livro>_<pagina>.pdf
Results (all NEGATIVE for this family):
- Gagliardi: 151 records, none for Pirro, Maria or Teresa. The only 1920s hits are Concetta and Martha (11/11/1922) and Vincenzo, 31 (20/12/1927, book 101). None match.
- Braccioli: 1 record (Guerrino, 1895). Not relevant.
- Pirro (any surname): 3 records, none Gagliardi.
- Variants Gagliarde, Gagliardo, Galiardi, Galliardi, Gaiardi, Bracioli, Braciolli, Bracciolli: nothing relevant.
- All 125 Italian registrations for 1930 checked. Maria and Teresa are not there. In this index, family members often carry no surname. The 22/08/1930 Italian entries are only the Belluzzo/Isolani family (ship Mendoza) and the Hynek family (Austrian, ship Conte Verde).
Conclusion: the family did not pass through the Hospedaria, which is normal for “espontâneos” joining a relative.
The Museu’s own passenger-list section (/acervo/passageiros) has only Japanese ships for 1930. The far larger APESP list index (below) is the one to use.

www.arquivoestado.sp.gov.br (old site) is blocked by an Incapsula bot wall for scripts. The web.arquivoestado.sp.gov.br pages work.
Passenger lists, Santos 1888–1978 (search by ship/date): https://web.arquivoestado.sp.gov.br/web/acervo/solicitacao_certidoes/lista_passageiros_pesquisa
- The lists are NOT name-indexed, so you have to search by date and ship.
- FOUND: Mendoza, 22/08/1930 (indexed as “Mandoza”), BR_APESP_MI_LP_019172. See 1930-08-22_ship_Mendoza_passenger_list_transcription.md.
Foreigner registration index (1939–1984): .../solicitacao_certidoes/delegacia
- FOUND: Pirro Gagliardo (1940), Maria Braccioli Gagliardi (1940), Tereza Gagliardi Justino (1965). See APESP_Delegacia_Estrangeiros_registrations_Pirro_Maria_Tereza.md.
Hospedaria register certificates: .../solicitacao_certidoes/hospedaria (same data as the Museu).

He is not in the Hospedaria registers under any spelling.
Passenger lists cannot be searched by name. The window is probably 1924–1930, assuming the twins who died in Vecchiano in Dec 1923 are Pirro’s children (see 04_family_members/children/twins_Francesco_and_Giovanni_1923). That is inferred, not checked here. That is too many Genoa→Santos lists to read page by page without a date.
Best lead: his 1940 registration card (cert 262920, reg 68955, FamilySearch “Brasil, São Paulo, Cartões de Imigração”, folder “Gagliardo-Gahwiler”, image 9) should state his arrival date and ship. It needs a FamilySearch login, or an APESP certificate order.

FamilySearch search for collection 2140223 (and other non-free collections) requires sign-in. Individual ark pages can be fetched.
Hemeroteca Digital (memoria.bn.gov.br): Cloudflare 403 for scripted access. Search Correio Paulistano 1930 manually in a browser if desired.
Arquivo Nacional SIAN (Rio passenger lists) requires registration. Not needed now: the arrival was at Santos.
MyHeritage name pages: JS bot wall. Geni: no profiles for Pirro Gagliardi, Maria Braccioli, or Gagliardi Braccioli. Tereza Justino: only unrelated people.
Find a Grave: no Pirro Gagliardi, Maria Braccioli, or Tereza Justino. Note: Pirro was buried at Cemitério de São Miguel Paulista and Maria at Cemitério da Saudade (from the death records); there are no memorials online.
General web search for “Pirro Gagliardi”, “Gagliardi Justino”, or “Gagliardi” + “São Bento do Sapucaí” found nothing relevant.
