Italian Carnation Industry. Ninety percent of the Italian flower industry passes through the market of San Remo - and it is also here that the bulk of the crop is grown - although the growers are to be seen at work right along the Italian (and French) Riviera. This picture was taken on the flower farm of Sacco Nicola above the slopes of San Remo - a few days ago. Tomatoes will be a crop to follow on later. San Remo, Italy. 20 March 1964.
