Mannese"; the mannese was the builder of wagons.

It was a craftsman who, thanks to his ability to work with wood and iron, could build and/or repair wagons. In practice, in the past time when locomotion was with wagons and carriages, the mannese was as the auto repair of our current time. He knew to place the circles in the wheel, put the fat to allow it to work better axes, coat the wheel hub of iron, etc ... Usually, the shops of these workers were concentrated in the main city street.
best regards,
