Usciere is a doorman (uscio=door), mandamentale = pertaining to the local government.

Thank you, Livio. That's interesting.

(I've also seen Usciere translated as usher and bailiff? I did a little search on the word "mandamentale", but couldn't find a direct translation anywhere. I did see that in a document that I looked at, it related to "district" but I obviously misread this. The word in Sicly also "seemed to" relate to mafia territories? Anyway, we will go with what you have written here. Thank you again.
