Synopsis
Excerpt from Rural Italy: An Account of the Present Agricultural Condition of the Kingdom
At the present time, when agricultural distress is a matter of personal moment to every landowner in England, and the agricultural condition of the country is of the highest importance alike to the State and to the individual, it cannot be without interest to learn how it fares with foreign nations, and what may be their condition and prospects in this particular branch of industry.
Italy - a country admirably formed by nature for agricultural prosperity - has ever, throughout her long and eventful history, shown that agriculture has flourished in times of political superiority and declined with the falling fortunes of the nation.
It is, however, the opinion of many that, "after twenty years of national government, the condition of the land and of the rural population leaves a great deal to be desired.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the state of agriculture in Italy in the late 19th century, focusing on the country's southern regions. The author provides a region-by-region overview of rural life, from the harsh conditions endured by peasants in Sicily to the relative prosperity of farmers in the Basilicata. In doing so, the author exposes the challenges facing Italian agriculture, including widespread poverty, high taxation, illiteracy, and limited access to modern farming practices. The book argues that while an abundance of natural resources gives Italy great agricultural potential, the country's economic and social conditions are hindering its ability to fully develop this potential. The author contends that the key to unlocking Italy's agricultural wealth lies in addressing these underlying issues, which will require the cooperation of the government, landowners, and the rural population. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
