Casacalenda, Molise, Italy
Date: 1942
Notes: This large landowner's farm house where the people seen in the picture are gathered to shear sheep was used in the late 1930s as a country school. It was known as "la scuola rurale, opera balilla." Some of the children who attended this make-shift school have fond memories of their teacher who was a published poet -- he not only taught them the 3Rs but gave them lessons in civility.
