Literacy and Land Inequality in Italy During Fascism. A Geographic- Historical Analysis

Giacomo Zanibelli and Vito Ricci

Rivista di storia economica, 2022, issue 2, 185-210

Abstract: This study aims to shade light on the effects of land inequality on the growth of human capital in the Italian countryside during the 1930s. The initial hypothesis, according to which land inequality contributed to slowing down the process of schooling, was tested by means of specific spatial regression techniques. The results obtained made it possible to highlight how some specific variables of land inequality significantly influenced the literacy rate in rural Italy
