Extract

The agricultural organization that has long characterized the Central Italian hills, the mezzadria system of share-farming, is today ‘in crisis’. Overtly, the crisis is manifested in an increasing antagonism between landlords and peasants, large-scale withdrawal of peasants from the system, and political agitation directed towards it.
