Abstract: Stratification of Italian Agriculture - Starting from a statistical analysis by Vincenzo Siesto, the lstituto Nazionale di Sociologia Rurale (INSOR) has estimated that, when the analysis is carried out on the regional level, the gross production of Italian agriculture for 1970-71, was distributed as follows : 1- 71 % in tenant or owner occupied farms, the farmer carrying out manual tasks, 2- 9,7 % in other family type farms, and share-croppers, 3- 19,3 % in capitalist-type farms run by a manager or by a single part-time, or full time business man in each case engaged in the intellectual tasks of management. A later study of the distribution of gross production gave the following results : -50 % came from 10 % of the farms (360.000 out of 3.600.000), - 30 % came from 35 % of the farms usually run by professional farmers without successors, - 20 % from 55 % in the worker-farmer (part-time) category where the family is almost exclusively engaged in activities outside agriculture. One need only compare these two series of results to realize that agricultural production nowadays comes mainly from the « family » sector which makes up the great majority of large-size farms.
