Cascina

...In addition, sugar refining and food processing industries are also thriving in connection with the cultivation of sugar beets, tomatoes, and fruit trees. Since the 19th century, large-scale agricultural operations employing agricultural laborers have dominated the Po Valley, and farms have had management bases called cascina, which have concentrated in one place housing the laborers, livestock farms, threshing facilities, cheese and butter manufacturing facilities, and storage warehouses. In southern Italy and Sicily, these facilities are not built on the farms, even though they are both large-scale agricultural operations, and this clearly shows the difference in the nature of the large-scale agricultural operations in the two regions.
