Share Cropper Families (Italy 1890s)

Italian share cropping family
Figure 1.--This photo was taken in the late 19th century on a farm in Campi Bisenzio, close to Florence. The portrait is undatd, but we would guess the 1890s. For some occasion, the daughter of the farm owner has a photo taken with the children of the sharecroppers. The children would be considered peasant children, but share cropping is just one system under which the largely landless peasant families worked. Although the peasant children dressed up for the photo (and the girl is wearing her everyday attire), we can clearly note the clothing difference. The outfits in the 20th century would be called folk costumes.

Itis a farm tenancy system in which families worked a farm or section of land in return for a share of the crop rather than wages.

The outfits in the 20th century would be called folk costumes. Notive how important hedwear was.
