EVERY MORNING, LEONARDO SPEDICATO GETS ONTO A CLAAS GT8000
Monologue, 2010
​
"My name is Spedicato Leonardo, my mother was a housewife, and my father a farmer. He would give tractors names like people used to do with animals. I’m married to Sandra Lenzi, a primary school teacher in Mogliano Veneto, and we have two daughters, Giada and Maria. I was a farmhand in the province of Venice; I was one of those brought back in after the change to the ‘Leggero’, or rather law no. 171/52, the one that got us all kicked off the fields."
