this image is somewhat out of focus b/c the original film is.

Luigi's occupation looks like scarpellino ? might it be another version of scarpellatore..... sculptor? something different?

father (Rocco Giovanni) occupation - it looks like marmista or ministro? or???

Hi,
yes scarpellino = stonecutter.
Rocco Giovanni occupation sounds like "marmista" = marble cutter.

Vincenzo.
