Description from the seller

Two original handwritten documents from the late 18th century (1779 and 1783), written in Old Italian and Latin, concerning lease contracts between Ioanni Cartia and Fava Giustiniani, related to the management of vineyards and agricultural lands at a 'massaria' in the territory of Sicily (Scicli).

The texts are entirely handwritten on high-quality paper, with beautiful cursive handwriting that is clear and easy to read.

They are splendid examples of rural life and agricultural contracts in Bourbon-era Sicily, perfect for collectors, researchers, or local history enthusiasts.

The contracts of vineyards and gabelle offer valuable insights into pre-modern agricultural management, illustrating methods of leasing, relationships between landowners and tenants, and the dynamics of rural life during that period.
