Title
Farmers sing while working
Short description
Marco Augusto Costanzi tells of the labor of farmers and the use of a basket that seems to be useless because it loses half of the harvest.
Text on source
Vanno costoro cantando continuamente durante simil travaglio, e se qualcuno nell'interrogarli osserva loro l'irragionevolezza del paniere, ed additta qualche cosa più relativa ed utile in proposito, non rispondono punto diversamente de' nostri contadini Europei: Così facevano i padri nostri e l'egual cosa dobbiam far noi.
