& Nbsp;
Historically, before the wedding, the double chapters : it was a real legal act in which the family of the future bride bargained and quantified the dowry with the future groom.
The dowry , which was mandatory until 1975 , was made up of various assets (such as land, property, precious stones or money) and was proportionate to both the possibilities of the bride’s family than the social class to which the groom belonged.
Not possessing any kind of dowry represented a real obstacle for the bride to search for a husband.
This agreement did not stipulate a transfer of ownership of the dowry, but rather entrusted its management to the groom. If the husband died before the bride, then the dowry could be freely administered by her; otherwise, and in the absence of children, the dowry would return to the bride’s family.

The practice of the outfit took place in a similar way: the fabrics started to be embroidered since the daughters were still children . The distinction between the social extraction of the various families was noted only for the quality of the fabric used and for the quantity of pieces that formed it.
