Figure 1.--Here we see the Chillotti family in 1914. They lived in Ulassai a mountain village in Sardinia. The parents wear the traditional clothing. Nowadays these clothing are worn only in folk festivals, but then were still worn in daily life, especially in little villages.

Here we see an unidentified family also in the Sardinina village of Ulassai in 1920. The boys wear jackets that buttoned at the collar and did not have lapels. This style was no longer fashionable but had been worn before World War I. There are two younger children wearing skirts and petticoats. We do not know if they were boys or girls. Two young women, wear identical outfits with head scarves. One of the women is surely the mother. I'm not sure who the other woman is.
