Who governed

What people wore

Poor children often went barefoot

Because shoes were expensive, poor children in both rural and urban areas commonly went barefoot, even though middle-class children in cities wore fashionable European-style clothing.

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

Peasant diets relied on carbohydrates

Peasant families often lived on a diet centered on carbohydrates like polenta made of maize flour, beans, and bread, with meat consumption remaining very low at about 14 to 15 kilograms per person annually.

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.
