La villa veneta e lo spazio del lavoro femminile: forme di efficienza organizzativa o forme nascoste di segregazione?

In my presentation I intend to offer elements of various kinds to better understand the subject of the sexual division related to silk processing. The key point, as a space, are the Venetian villas, which were built close to the cities. In the villa space, peasant women were occupied with the processing of silk in its various stages.Following Poni's thinking, in the pre-industrial phase, the silk industry was concentrated in urban centers.
