Italian land reform risks uprooting share cropper families near Rome
Agro Romano Italy 45 year old Pierrino Renga and wife Santina, with 12 children, face displacement as proposed land reform would break up Procolo Nuovo estate of 900 acres. The plan envisions a state agency selling large holdings, offering installments and technical aid to peasants, and redistributing nearly 3 million acres. The Rengas’ share cropping life, built on half the crop and livestock rights, could end if the reforms reduce estate output and stability.
