In Italy in the 1870s, government inquiries and parliamentary discussions highlighted theproblems of the industrialization process, including the absence of protective laws on childlabour. In particular, the Committee for Industrial Inquiry, visiting Sicily (1873) was affectedby the dramatic condition of the carusi, children employed in sulphur mines andinvolved in the transport of the mineral from the mines to the surface. Concluding theinvestigation on Sicily conducted along with Leopoldo Franchetti (1876), Sidney Sonninoinvoked protective laws against the exploitation of the carusi, while, at the same time, theparliamentary committee of inquiry on public order in Sicily was more sensitive to theowners’ arguments against setting legal limits to the employment of carusi.
