Chapter Public history in Val di Vara. La microeconomia di una famiglia contadina nei primi decenni del XX secolo
Abstract
The scrutiny of a present-day notarial document – specifically, the division of inherited real estate assets within a peasant family in the Eastern Liguria – affords an occasion to contemplate the configuration of a modest landholding and the potential micro-economy emanating from it. This, in turn, constituted the underpinning for the sustenance of a human nucleus in the early 20th century. Utilizing a straightforward spatial analysis within a Geographic Information System (GIS) framework allows for reflection on the lifestyles and daily pursuits of this social cohort, representing a conceivable vestige of a rural economy with historical roots extending far into the past.
