Mysterious profession

[jwazevedo]

On a birth certificate (atto di nascita) from Como, I couldn't decipher the profession of one of the witnesses. I've attached a clip from the atto. Can anyone make this out? Thanks!

Is there an online list of the names and translations of the common professions? Thanks!

Another reference that I like is at:

Section D of that guide has an extensive list of professions.

Best,
