Figure 1.--The photo was taken in Gonnoscodina, a little village (about 600 inhabitants) in central Sardinia. It shows the children that received de First Communion in 1941 with the parish priest. The girls are wearing white dresses, the boys different suits. The boys have also the traditional white ribbon. A boy in the first row is barefoot. He is also the only child seated. We can assume that his parents couldn't afford the footwear. Probably this boy had never worn shoes. Pur your cursor on the image ton see the boys.
