SILKWORM REARING SEASON

Records and figures on silkworm production

During the silkworm rearing seasons of the 1930s, it was customary for municipalities to keep detailed records of the people raising silkworms (both sharecrop farmers and small land owners) in order to keep production trends under observation. Today, these documents are valuable evidence of the diffusion of silkworm rearing in the Lecco area.
