Italian term or phrase: imprese agricole dirette
On a certificate issued by the Comune di Roma there is a list entitled CARTA LIBERA. One item of this list of exemption cases is 'Formazione di proprietà di imprese agricole dirette-coltivatrici (Art.21)'
Can anyone explain what this is about and give me a translation for 'imprese agricole dirette'? Thank you

it has something to do with a category /definition of landholding, I think - here are some refs., I don't have time to look more now; I am merely going by what I found in my research - I don't know whether it necessarily means family-run but that tends to be how they are/were, I presume.; maybe "owner-run/managed"


The 2000 survey registered a traditional predominance of undertakings managed by the owner (2,457,960 companies, i.e. 94.7% of the total number), where 81.3% has a workforce made up by the owner’s family members.
