at 53mm, 1/20 f/2.8, ISO 2000, hand held.

Il carretto è composto dal fonnu di càscia, cioè il pianale di carico prolungato anteriormente e posteriormente da due tavulàzzi, sul quale sono montati parallelamente due masciddàri (dal siciliano mascidda, "mascella") ovvero le sponde fisse del carretto, e un puttèddu (portello posteriore) removibile per agevolare le operazioni di carico e scarico. Ogni masciddaru è suddiviso equamente in due scacchi (i riquadri in cui vengono dipinte le scene), nel putteddu invece vi è uno scacco centrale fra due scacchi più piccoli.I scacchi sono divisi da un segmento verticale che congiunge i pannelli al fonnu di cascia: 6 in legno chiamati barrùni equamente divisi fra masciddari e putteddu, due in metallo denominati centuni presenti solo sui masciddari. Questa sezione "contenitiva" sormonta il gruppo portante del carretto chiamato traìno, il quale comprende le aste e la cascia di fusu, a sua volta costituita da una sezione di legno intagliato sormontata da un arabesco di metallo. Nei carretti alla patrunàli meno pregiati, la preziosa cascia di fusu viene sostituita dalle balestre. Fra le aste sotto i tavulazzi vengono montate due parti in legno chiamate chiavi, una anteriore ed una posteriore. La prima altro non è che una semplice barra ricurva, la seconda invece consiste in un bassorilievo intagliato rappresentante una scena, solitamente cavalleresca, che può assumere diversi gradi di pregevolezza.

True, Rinaldo, I had not considered that you are heavily involved by your name in these Sicilian stories.
Stories that, unfortunately, today are rather neglected. Some "pupari", some artisans who try to pass on certain trades, resist it, but they do it in the name of respect for traditions, often only for folklore, tourism, but certain objects, once they were above all work tools, therefore widespread and treated as objects which were part of the daily life of many people.
Thank you for your appreciation of this shot.
