What's this occupation?

Post by aliza24 »

Hi guys,

I came across an occupation I'm not familiar with and I don't see anything that resembles it on my lists. It looks like 'gia**ntaio'?

The occupation is on the 3rd line down from the top...the sentence starting with Saverio.

Thanks in advance for any help!

PS -- I'm getting a message saying the "board attachment quota has been reached" and it won't let me attach the image???

Thanks! I uploaded it...I think this is the URL. I don't know how to do this. Can't you just attach/upload an image directly here?

Giumentaio was the shepherd or farmer of the pack animals (mares) who were used to transport goods or pull carts or carriages.

Grazie, Tessa! That's what that says...giumentaio! I couldn't make that middle part out and this is the first time I've seen that occupation anywhere.

Thanks again.
