1st May in the world

 It is  Workers's Day in Italy "FESTA DEI LAVORATORI”. This date was chosen   to remember  the worker’s struggles, fought to get the limit of eight hours working a day.  Infact the first May 1886 there was a change: 4000 workers began to protest the lack of protection   of their rights and the law of the limit  of eight hours of work was approved. Today the first May is no longer synonymous  of struggle and deaths, but an opportunity to organize day out in the country with family and friends.
