caption: AGRICULTURE Seasonal Calabrian olive oil workers, who came from far away, were housed in wooden shacks in the olive grove during the three or four months of the harvest, without toilets, stoves, or running water. Here they washed in bins located near the road, where the water was renewed weekly. Photograph by Ando Gilardi (1921 - 2012) #andogilardi, part of the photo feature "Inchiesta tra gli ulivi" (Investigation Among the Olive Trees), published in installments as a summary of the study on the working conditions of olive pickers in Calabria, conducted in November 1957 by a commission of inquiry composed of CGIL trade unionists and association and parliamentary figures of various backgrounds, accompanied by a large series of images taken by the photographer. Published in "Lavoro," the trade union's weekly magazine, Italy, no. 48 of December 1, 1957.
