Hand packaging operations of the "Pasticca del Re Sole" in the Gazzoni factory. While men managed the factory, women worked diligently on the factory floor. These tasks, such as packaging food and powders, demanded precision and speed, and women's lower wages made them ideal candidates for the role. Despite strict hierarchical control, women's lower wages and specialized skills allowed them to gain some independence.
