In the area where I live Contadino is a farmer who lives off the land he cultivates. Growing food for his family and **SPAM** the surplus.
An agricolture would be a farm worker, working on someone else's land for pay or food.

A contadino would grow food for his own while an agricoltore would grow food to make business. A campagnolo namely is someone who does not live in a town and may be a contadino as well as an agricoltore.
