1911 - LE FAVE
Author: Gorni, O.
Publisher: Casale Monferreto (Italy), F.lli Ottavi
This booklet, part of a series of similar pamphlets published in 1911, formed part of a distinguished historical collection of the Ottavi family in Italy (passionate promotors of innovative agronomic knowledge for public use) of works on agriculture dating back to 1850.
Le Fave explains every aspect of beans and their cultivation, describing the different kinds, their cultivation, including how the land should be farmed, the use of fertilizer, the seeds and their harvesting and how to guard against pest infection.
The elegant illustration in gold and sepia by Arturo Stagliano is typical of the series of books that form part of “I libri del campagnolo” (books for rural producers). It depicts the heroism of the working class using the social realism style. Stagliano, an Italian artist (1870-1936), was initially influenced by Leonardo Bistolfi, an important exponent of Italian symbolism, but moved to a more classical style in the second part of his artistic activity in line with the social movements of the decade.
