Figure 1.-- We notice a camp during the 1950s on the beach near Alghero (on the Sardinian West Coast). The photos were taken during a seaside summer camp (colonia marina). The colonia was organized by the government agency for the agrarian reform in Sardinia. This agency had the task to expropriate the untilled land and to assign it to peasant families. The children that attend the summer camp belonged to these families. Probably they didn't own swimming trunks, so on the beach they wore the underwear.
