Life in italian rice fields in early nineteenth century
In Italy, in the mid-eighteenth century, the farms became small villages, where dozens of families lived: the church, the houses of the peasants, the school, the workshops. In spring arrive weeders: women working in the sweltering heat of the rice fields.
We created a photographic set at Cascina Colombara, near Livorno Ferraris, to relive that era. The theater company "I Camalli" helped us with its extraordinary actors, Mario welcomed us in the splendid museum of peasant life he created, Elisa designed the costumes and took care of the make-up and many friends accompanied us on this adventure giving us a wonderful day.
