these are two records (my great aunts) from Altavilla. I am trying to figure out my GGF Gaetano's occupation....i included both records for comparison. i cannot find anything similar in the occupations list that i use for reference.

it looks like secchiaro ??

any thoughts?

It is "secchiaro" which I believe can be translated to "Tinsmith"
