Buona pasqua, Donna.

My best guess is that it is an occupation related to the Italian word pastiglia-which translates to tablet or lozenze-a type of medicine. The current word can also be translated as a hard candy. As to the difference between this occupation and the pharmacist of old, I can't honestly say.
