I don't where your record is from, but here's some info about this occupation which may interest you:
Erudita

In Sicily, the craft of making the cart was passed down from generation to generation and may even be said to have been a competitive occupation. The carts were elaborately decorated and had scenes from Sicilian history, folklore, mythology, religious figures, battles, etc. They were also different shapes, and painted in different colors, depending on the province in Sicily. Over rough terrains they were pulled by donkeys, mules, oxen. In the cities, they were pulled by horses. They were initially used to transport goods such as crops, produce, and even wine barrels. Once roads became more viable, they were even used to transport families on weekends. In 1908, after the earthquake in Messina, they even carried some 80,000 victims to their graves. Today, in Sicily, they are mainly seen in parades, at public festivals, at fashion shows, weddings, other ceremonies, or in museums.
