The work of craftsmen was closely linked to the rural world; many trades, indeed, born precisely to meet the demands of the farmer who needed tools, rope, containers for its activities in the fields and in the barn. Along with the blacksmith, the carpenter, the farrier existed crafts such as wheelwright, del Sellaio, del cordaio, Tubs, alongside them, the shoemaker, the coppersmith, the tailor, the mender of chairs, l’arrotino. The farmer was able, most of the time, to provide for only small repairs of equipment and furnishings useful to work and family. Many craftsmen had a small shop; others carrying out their work, rather, home, going from house to house.
