Fascism, battle of the grain
Rural housewives handkerchief

Handkerchief in printed cotton, used by rural housewives, who wore it folded in a triangle and wrapped around the neck to cover the shoulders, during the campaign of the Battle of the Wheat, wanted by the Duce Benito Mussolini to pursue the productive self-sufficiency of wheat in Italy. On a white background, with beautiful red, yellow and blue colors, we find the ears of wheat depicted together with poppies and daisies, with the writing DUCE that is repeated for the entire central surface of the handkerchief, in a frame with lictor beams. It measures approx. 75x75 cm and is in perfect condition.
