Signor Sangiorgi proposes state bread for all in Italy
Special correspondence from Rome reports Signor Sangiorgi, a wealthy Italian philanthropist, arguing bread is a universal right. He opened a House of Bread in Massalombarda to show the concept, contending government bakeries could provide bread at near cost, with profits funded into a reserve to meet distress. He notes municipal bakeries in Catania and Palermo prove bread can be cheaper and profitable, while private bakers would keep fancy loaves. He argues safeguards could limit free bread to the poor and that overall benefits exceed potential downsides, predicting broader welfare and less hardship.
