What people wore

Holy Day respect in clean clothing

On feast days, laboring men and women carefully preserved special clothes to wear, as wearing a clean, pure white shirt or jacket was considered a necessary sign of respect toward God.

Getting around

Stagecoach travel was slow and exhausting

Before widespread rail, stagecoaches were primary for intercity travel, with a journey from Bologna to Florence taking up to 15 hours. Travel was slow, often requiring numerous stops at post stations to change horses.

At the table

High food costs for working families

Working-class families spent 62 percent of their total budget on food, primarily on bread, coffee, or chicory substitutes.

The Bread Riots of 1898

Widespread bread riots broke out across Italy in 1898 due to rising wheat prices, leading to mass repression, including the Bava Beccaris massacre in Milan where up to 400 people were killed.

Music

Tarantella instruments and triccheballacche

The tarantella was commonly accompanied by instruments such as tambourines, castanets, and the triccheballacche, which is a device made of wooden hammers joined together to mark the dance's rhythm.

Daily life

Rural homes and the shared stable lifestyle

In rural areas, many homes were small, unhealthy buildings often with only two rooms: a ground floor kitchen with dirt floors and an upstairs sleeping area. Families frequently spent winters in stables to use animal heat for warmth to save on firewood.
