Figure 1.-- This is a class photo taken in 1951 in San Lorenzo di Treia, a village in the mountains of central Italy, Marche region. We have a description of the children from the teacher, Anna Caltagirone. She remembers that the children belonged to sharecropper families. The second boy from left in the front row was barefoot because he didn't own any footwear. His mother explained to the teacher that because she had many children and couldn't afford footwear for everybody, chose to leave them all shoeless and use the money for more urgent things. An Italian reader tells us that the smocks were black. Later navy blue smocks appeared.

Some HBC readers tell us that they would like to be able to access new pages, but do not want to receive E-mails on every new page added to HBC. We have also for several years now experienced problems dealing with AOL. Thus we have created this page for HBC readers. We will list new pages or existing pages to which we have added additional information. We used to maintain a page like this. We know from this experience that we sometimes forget to add a new page, but we will try to remember to do this as much as possible. There will not be a link on our home page so you will want to add this to your favorites/book marks. We plan to only make this page available to readers who support HBC. There may be occasional changes in the URL. Just let us know if you have any question about this HBC feature.

Notice CIH/HBC is still working on a huge migration. The new system is more stable, but much more demanding than the old system. A tiny coding error which the old system tolerated can cause a broken link, both pages and images. I am slowly making the correctiions, but as there are 25,000+ pages, it will be some time before we find them all. If you encounter a broken page or image link, feel free to alert me and I will make the needed correction and you can get to the page
