Caption:
Types of Tuscan peasant-women, 1861. '...we find remarkable differences existing in the styles of dress worn by peasants from districts of the same province lying comparatively near each other. All the figures in our Illustration were drawn after nature by M. Mariani during his stay at Florence, whither the subjects of it were attracted by the charms of the first United Italian Exhibition...The female on the left is a rich peasant from the environs of Arezzo...Her costume was entirely in black, with a deep lace veil falling from her head over her shoulders; the only ornament was a large filigree brooches...This dress is pretty general among the superior class of peasant-women at Arezzo...The next four women are all "fair Florentines," easily recognisable from the quantity of Tuscan straw employed in the production of their hats...Their attire betokens their position as belonging to the poorer class of rustics, and has not changed materially since the time when the Medicis were the sovereign lords and masters of Tuscia and Etruria...The last figure on the right is that of a Siennese peasant, whose peculiar headdress is characteristic of the district of Sienna, situated only thirty-five miles south of Florence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
