Who governed

What people wore

Women’s Distinctive Party Uniforms

Female party members wore uniforms consisting of white blouses under dark blue tailored suits, which always included skirts rather than trousers. The regime did not permit women to wear the iconic black shirt, which was reserved exclusively for men.

Getting around

Rimini to San Marino travel times

A carriage journey between Rimini and San Marino took up to five hours, sometimes pulled by mules or oxen to better handle the steep slopes. By 1911, an early bus service replaced the horse-drawn carriage, reducing the travel time to one hour and fifteen minutes.

At the table

Boiled chestnuts as a main course

For one soldo, street vendors in Naples sold nine boiled chestnuts in a reddish juice, which the poor used as a main course by soaking their bread in the liquid.

Economic crisis, 1927-1935

Following the Great Depression, the poorer classes in Italy suffered a fall in nominal wages of up to 70 percent between 1927 and 1935.

Music

Village Dance Music Cost Two Grani

In Sicily, village musicians charged two grani (equivalent to one soldo) to play popular songs like tarantella for dancing in the town square.

Daily life

Limited access to basic utilities

Many homes lacked electricity or running water; families often used lanterns with oil wicks for light and fetched water from public town fountains.
