Légende

Animals at the Florence Exposition: Tuscan maremme [sic], or herdsman, 1861. Maremma cowboys or butteri are cowherds on horseback, typical of the Tuscan and Lazio Maremma, whose life, especially in the past, was certainly not to be envied from a qualitative point of view. The butteri didn't really know what fear was, but they knew the bush very well. They were not afraid of spending their lives in solitude, riding their Maremmano horses, among the miasmas of the marshes, in the thickets populated by wild boars, exposed to the cold winter winds, or to the heat of the torrid summer days, very often exploited, and always being on horseback from dawn to dusk, in a land that appeared difficult, hostile, and ungrateful. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
