Abstract

This chapter will observe the working condition from, basically, three points of view. First, the working time: we will show how, even if in the Early Modern period the periods of labour were defined by natural elements, various forms of works led to different working hours. Another fundamental element is the working place; beside the sporadic presence of centralised manufactures, workers performed their labour in artisan workshops or in private houses, as much as in open or natural spaces. Finally, another important topic concerns diseases that result from certain types of labour; in the Early Modern period too the working environment could be the cause of diseases and injuries, because of various reasons.
