Hi Ellen

He was a "mastro fabbricatore" so he was very good at what he did. Fabbricatore is some one who makes, manufactures or builds, but I have also seen it defined as a mason.

Thank you for the correct definition, G. So the word "fabbrica" is a verb and not a noun, (otherwise it changes the meaning in English). Correct?

No....
Qui "fabbrica" = "costruzione"
