This is Chiara preparing to use the weed strimmer, or “decespugliatore”.She is required by the job to wear protective clothing plus straps which go over the shoulders and buckle at the waist.

As the poet says of Agememnon after he sacrifices Iphigenia, “and then he put on the harness of necessity”. A harness it is, and a necessity it is as well. On hot days (35°+) we cannot use the strimmers for more than 2-3 hours.
