A peasant in Nicola Pomparola, aged 62, plunged his horny hand into a hat here today, drew out a number and became a landowner.

His wife and 11 straggling children followed him as he pushed through the crowd of high offi- cials and 2,000 fellow villagers in the square of Santa Severina, climbed down the steep mountain- side and padded along the nearly dry river-bed below to look at his property.
